We went once just her and me and again with my sister-in-law Heather, who, despite living in Denver for many years, had never yet been to the stock show. FOR SHAME all of you Denver-ites who haven't been! Although I think this year I went enough to cover for most of you!
Here is Violet looking over the stockyards.
And the cows down below. 
Sooo they had pony rides at the Stock Show. Violet and I watched the "neighs" go around earlier in the week. I asked her if she wanted to ride. She said yes. When we went again with Aunt Heather, and again we had "the talk". She still said "ride! ride!" when we watched the other kids go around and around. So we gave it a shot. She cried the entire time!
Oh well. There are always the very safe rabbits in cages.
And zonked out piglets in the petting area. Seriously, how cute is THAT?? Too bad they get so big so quickly. He looks like a good snuggler on the couch. At least for a few more weeks!
We also spotted this absolutely ADORABLE long-horn calf with its long-horn mommy. It even had teeny tiny long-horn nubs. Sooo sweet!
Violet and I in front of the little long-horn calf and mom.
Earlier in the week my friend Jenna and I went to the Grand Prix jumping event at the stock show. It was really fun to watch! It's a timed jumping event where they jump HUGE (5' high and up to 6' wide) jumps. Only two of the 15 riders had a clear round where they didn't refuse a jump or knock anything over. It was exciting!
Here I am in front of one of the jumps. This one is about 5' tall. I'm such a scardy-cat when it comes to jumping that I'm okay with just the bottom two rails.
AND we took the first round of Violet's two year old pictures at a park this weekend. They didn't turn out great but at least we got a few!
Silly!
Jumping on the last bit of snow!
