Texas Day at Ella's School

Here are some pictures from Texas Day at Ella's school. Of course, we had to get dressed up like a cowgirl for the occasion. I scrambled to get my hands on some boots for Ella to wear about 45 minutes before she had to go to school. Thanks to some sweet neighbor friends, we ended up with a pink pair that were adorable, and they just about made Ella's whole day! She loved them!

 I can't handle how cute she is!
The class started at the petting zoo. Ella was okay with it at first....
 Check out these piglets. Only 5 days old! How adorable!
I cannot handle how cute they are!! They were running around all over, and all the commotion made Ella a little nervous.
 Can you tell? :)


 Ms. Rachel got a piglet that Ella eventually did pet. But it took some convincing!
 And she pet one of the baby bunnies too, reluctantly.


 The calf...... (and Cole snoozing in the stroller in the background!)

Ella was glad to leave the petting zoo area with her class..... we had a couple of run-ins with goats that caused lots of anxiety for her, ha! She screamed and cried out a few times when they got too close or baa-ed near her. She told me several times, "This makes me nervous! I want to leave!" I had to laugh!
 Moving over to the pony ride area, and she's still recovering from the slight trama of the petting zoo. Not really excited to be here.
 And it was kinda cold. :/ She and her sweet little friends look so cute, though!
 Not having the pony ride! Oh my word!! We did have the pony walk around in a big circle, but she was happy to get off of him!
After watching her friends pose for a picture, she put a smile on long enough to get a cute shot! Thankfully. :)

Their little class played a few Cowboy themed games after all the fun with the animals. 

Started with a bean bag toss...

   ....and then a relay, getting dressed like a cowboy!






....and a pony race! So cute!


 

A little more playtime before the festivities were over.



It was a fun morning with the kids, and I was glad to be able to go and watch all the fun!
