Daphne Meets Nano--and Attends a Rodeo






There are very few people that Daphne had left to meet, and this one was an important one. Grandpa Bob came up for a nice visit over the 4th of July. Despite the extreme heat, we had a ton of fun.

On the 3rd, we went to the local museum for the Spruce Goose. That plane is massive, and I loved seeing it. Even if the man was crazy, it just shows what that amount of determination can do. The other planes are very cool too, and we spent a good deal of time walking around looking at all the cool things they have.

The afternoon of the 4th, we went to the Saint Paul Rodeo, and I can't say that I had done anything more fun in a long time. I realized how much I like the rodeo. We got to go out as a family, and despite the heat, it was amazing. Daphne loved the bull riding, and she sat intently through the saddle bronc stuff as well. She sure likes to observe the world around her, and this little miss caught on the rodeo really fast.

I was a little nervous that she wouldn't like it, but she sat there through the whole three hours watching and being generally happy even in the extreme heat.

Jared and I talked for days about how much fun we had at the rodeo. Figuring out the whole parenting thing has been a little much, and we forgot that there are events out there that are a lot of fun.

We really enjoyed it.

Here are some photos of Daphne meeting Nano. Note the jeans and shirt in preparation for the rodeo in the last photo!!!!
