Dollar Days!


The best part about the San Antonio Rodeo is that three or four days out of the month they have Dollar Days where hot dogs, drinks, cotton candy, carnival rides, and grounds admission all cost just a dollar each! (Parking, however, is a different story!)This year we got to go with the Riggs again and we had a blast!!Last year we brought "Flat Miley" with us everywhere as a favor to Lyndsay's niece. This year (in Lyndsay's own words) we brought "Puffy Kate!" She was adorable!!Tyson loved to see the animals in real life which he had only previously seen in books. Here he is checking out the pigs!The pig races were by far the most entertaining race I've ever seen! They were tiny and so much fun to watch race around the track!Here we are with the biggest cows the Riggs had ever seen! Mooo!The petting zoo was the best! There were pigs, chickens, lamas, donkeys, goats (of many different kinds), sheep, wallabies (thinking of you, Alisha!), ducks, and even deer. I was impressed that none of them showed any natural instinct at all besides hoping to be fed! It was amazing and Tyson loved it! The funniest part, though, was there was a gate behind which there were some ducks and Tyson kept climbing up the gate in hopes of reaching them! It was so funny!We had to take advantage of the giant boot at the entrance to the grounds! It was so fun for Christian to have a day off and for him to spend it with us at the rodeo! Thanks Babe! I love you!!

I love Dollar Days! We go every year (with the exception of this year because of the baby), but we're going to the Houston one in a couple of weeks.

Looks like you had a blast! That's cute about Tyson trying to climb the fence. :)

Looks as if you had a great day, wish we were there. Cannot believe Tyson is growing so fast before our very eyes. What a cutie!
Love you!
