Play By Play of our Stock Show Day

Wow, what a day this was! Sometimes I forget how little Zane and Emmy are and try to plan big things and sometimes it just isn't what I hoped or expected. I thought they would love watching all the animals in the rodeo and thought they'd have fun walking around and seeing everything. Although some parts were super fun, most of it was crazy. Well, here's how our afternoon went...

12:30 : Left Highlands Ranch to drive up to the Denver Colliseum
1:30 : Got there, picked up our tickets
2:00 : The Rodeo started and the kids loved it for about 15 minutes :) Zack's allergies also started... poor guy is allergic to hay and by the end had sneezed probably 50 times
2:15 - 2:45 : Gave them popcorn and suckers to try to distract them
2:45 : Zane started asking to go home and Emmy started fussing and trying to escape to go down the stairs
3:00 : Left the rodeo to go find other things to see
3:10 : Emmy fell asleep in the stroller and Zane wanted to be carried
3:25: Emmy woke up from a bump in the road, crying because she was so tired but couldn't go back to sleep
3:30 : Finally found the animals after getting bad directions from someone and getting lost
3:30 - 3:45 : Saw a ton of animals getting groomed and cleaned - they didn't really get excited at all like I thought they would even though we were walking past huge animals!
4:00 - Found the kids' floor with activities for them so they could ride ponies, play on a playground, ride the train, etc.
4:30 - Zane started complaining that he felt sick and at one point thought he was going to throw up so we waited by a trash can just in case but he didn't.
4:45 : Started walking to the car, Zane basically passed out on Zack and Emmy in the stroller
5:00 : Drove home in rush hour traffic
5:15 : Zane vomited in his carseat for the first time - amazingly I just knew he was going to so had moved to the back with a Super Big Gulp cup so I caught it
5:15 - 6:45 - Still driving, Zane puked 3 more times. Poor baby.
7:00 - Got into PJs and put Emmy to bed and Zane fell asleep on the couch
The rest of the night : Zane got sick every 15 -30 minutes the entire night.

Here are some pictures and a video of our day :)

I love how Emmy was rocking back and forth, like it would help her go faster. She kept saying, "Yeehaw!" They both loved it.
