National Western Stock Show

The post-holiday blues are short-lived for us Denver residents because January brings the National Western Stock Show! It's the biggest stock show in the country--think state fair, but with lots more cowboys. We love going every year, and it was even more fun with Jack being a little older this year. Here's a picture of Jack and Jeff at last year's show:

 

This year he was big enough to go in the petting zoo. He wasn't sure what to think--and it was pretty crowded--but we think he got a kick out of it.

He really liked watching the horses ride around the stadium but wasn't really a fan when we tried to get him to sit on a saddle of his own.

In other news, we're getting settled back into a routine again. Nike's cousin Kacie has come to live with us. She started classes at University of Colorado Denver and staying with us while she learns her way around town. It's been great to have a live-in baby-sitter, and she loves spending time with Jack. We're looking forward to many more date nights in the months to come!
