The Wild West

Today we got to go to a Wild West show! We started our afternoon with lunch. The Indian Flute player came by while Marlee was fussing. She stopped so she could listen to him, she loved his music.
After lunch we walked around and checked out all the vendors. A booth that was selling feathers put a little feather in Marlee's hair.Marlee looked like a little Indian princess with her red and black feather.Lane had fun checking out the old buildings. He was supposed to pose for a picture with Popeye on the covered bridge.And he stopped for a quick pick with Grammy before they toured the old Post Office.We found our seats for the show. Marlee stood and bounced while the girls came out with the American flags. She spent a little time in Grammy's lap with brother's hat on. During intermission we went to get the kids faces painted. Marlee fell asleep while we were in line. It made her first experience with face painting an easy one! I wasn't sure if Lane would sit and let the lady paint his face. While we waited in line he told me he wanted a horse on his hand. I was talking to someone else when he sat down in the facepainting chair. She pulled out a big brush and started paining all over his face. Lane was a still as could be.I guess he told the lady he wanted his face painted like a zebra? A little boy a few kids ahead of us in line got his face painted like a zebra. That must have been where he got the idea.Grampy got the zebra some cotton candy and he even shared a little bit with "Unc Sarah".On our way back to our seats Lane saw a pony ride. He has never wanted to ride one, but he grabbed me and told me he wanted to ride a horse. He was so excited! He waved every time he passed us.
A little cowboy in the making.



After all the fun we went back to watch the end of the show. The finale was the "One Arm Bandit". He was really fun to watch. We had another great day at Grammy and Grampy's, filled with lots of firsts for Lane and Marlee!
