the BIG adventures of a little girl...

WELCOME to the world of Madeleine Mary, a charming little princess with a neverending smile, bright blue eyes, and an insatiable curiosity that keeps her parents constantly on their toes.

Day 3 at the Fair

Guess where I am again?!? Know what else...we had more fries! This time I ended up with ketchup all over my shirt. Guess they shouldn't have trusted me to hold the cup.

Anyway, we went through all of the animal barns today too, but a lot of the animals had gone home. It was still fun. We also stopped to see Grandma Mary again.

It was getting late, but Grandma G wanted to make sure I got my first pony ride before we left. I loved it, plus I felt like a little star with Mom pointing the camera at me plus having Daddy, Auntie Karen, and Aunt Dan taking pictures with their cell phones. What can I say...I'm popular!

Auntie Sherry & Boppa had planned for us all to go to that night's grandstand event -- Bull Riding. I didn't know what that was, but it sounded very exciting!

As you would expect, I loved the bulls. I don't cheer for the cowboys, just the BULL, BULL, BULL. There was a lot of squealing going on! I stayed up way too late, and fell asleep about five minutes after we left the fairgrounds. It was a big day!

Mom & Daddy haven't watched bull riding in a long time, but the next day I spotted a PBR event on TV. We HAD to watch it. I cheered just as loud for the bulls, and I also tried to pet their heads during the close-up shots. A bull riding fanatic is born!

** Check out my video list for some bulls and some of ME in action.

Maddie you are looking more like a Texan. Anyone that loves bulls that much should just come on down!
