Preston Night Rodeo Weekend

This year for that Famous Preston night rodeo I was in the hospital having our new bundle of joy so it was not the usual out and about we usually do. I was sad to miss out on the rodeo and carnival with the kids, but I was happy to get my little Gavin here instead. My mom had my kids while we were in the hospital and so on that first night of the parade she brought them up to the hospital and Nils wheeled me out to the curb and we watched the parade together. The kids had fun! They thought that was neat to watch it and hey, I still got to watch it too. I did get a few weird looks though. lol We got rained on, but still had a blast. Here we are waiting ever so patiently for the parade to start. Yes, I look like poop, but remember I just had a baby okay? lol

I was then released from the hospital Friday afternoon so we didn't go up and see the Friday night parade. I was in no shape to go up there. I had my brother come up to visit from Arizona with his girlfriend and they decided to go watch it Saturday night. I felt pretty good (I thought) Saturday so I told them I would go too. We got a parking again at the hospital and I figured just getting out of the car and sitting to watch the parade I'd be fine. I was for only about the first 15 minutes. By the time that parade was over I was hurting bad. I was in a lot of pain and we headed home. It was probably a dumb mistake on my part, but I at least got to see the big Saturday night parade. We missed all else, but it's okay. It will be there again next year right? lol
Here we are waiting on Saturday night for the parade with the "gang." My brother isn't in the pic though; he was the lucky one taking the picture.

Little Gavin did great though and only fussed because he got hungry. Overall it was a good week/weekend. We got to see two nights of the parade, kids got their candy, and we got a new bundle of joy. :)
