For those of you that are local to the North Texas area you may know about Waurika, OK and the annual Rattlesnake Roundup that takes place every April. For those of you that do not know about such an event you are truly missing out on a "life experience".
Saturday we took Dotty to the Roundup to ride on the carnival rides and play the carnival games that come with the Rattlesnake Roundup. Luckily we missed the actual rattlesnakes! Dotty loved all of it and this child (unlike both her parents) has no fear of heights.
She rode on the Farris Wheel (both Tony and I were not crazy about that ride...especially getting stuck at the top...but Dotty nicely patted Tony's hand and told him everything would be okay...it is sad where your 2 year old has to be the one with the calm head). Dotty also rode the flying elephants 1 and a half times (the last ride had to be stopped due to Dotty crying to get off...she was getting a little tired at that point), the carousel twice (once on the giraffe and once on the monkey which she claimed looked like "Boots"), and the alligator train which she hated and cried to get off as well...it was a little too bumpy for her. She rode down the big slide numerous times with Bara, Tony, and me and she and I rode the strawberry ride (this one is very similar to the teacup ride).
She won prizes at the Duck Pond and the Fishing Pond. Howard tried a few other games but didn't have much luck. All in all it was a great night of fun.
