On Tuesday, Barb and I took the boys downtown to watch a parade to kick off the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo! The boys had a blast running around, having snacks, checking out the animals, and watching the tractors buzz down the streets of Denver. Nolan named each animal and made their sounds as they went by and he even learned a new one- a ram. Too bad we didn't have our good friend and tractor expert, Trey Sloothaak, with us to tell us all about each tractor we witnessed. Because this "city slicker" does not know very much about the animals, let alone the farm machinery. Barb actually called me a "city slicker" because I was more interested in commenting on the stench and the "yucky" poop on the street. If you ask Nolan about what he saw at the parade he'll tell you about the cows and the horses, but he will also tell you all about the "stinky poop"! Here are some pictures from our fun morning out!
The boys were so cute sitting next to each other on the city steps- they kept saying "CHEESE" and smiling so big!
Here's another cute shot of the cousins together in their matching fleece jackets!

One of Nolan's favorite parts of the parade- the puppies pulling a little wagon!

And this one's for you Trey-Trey!

Cute pics! Wish that PR and I could have joined you...
SO FUN!! We aren't quite sure where our little tractor expert came from, but you're right...he is completely obsessed and would have LOVED checking out all things farm with his buddy Nolan! Maybe someday we can join you!
I can't wait to show Trey the post tomorrow. It was straight to bed tonight after Skyping....which was SO GOOD, by the way! Love you and can't wait to have some chat time in person so soon!!!
