Since we were going to Edgewood we decided to pack a cooler so we could stop at the locker. So we picked up a cooler at his cousins house and we were off. We knew Edgewood had a parade at 2 but we also knew Lyndin needed a nap, which we were hoping so woild take while driving. Right! Our first stop was the locker where we loaded up on pork products. There we found out the rodeo didn't start until 8pm where we originally thought it started at 5. So we had 5 hours to kill. We watched some of the parade and then we headed off to try to find the Edgewood Amish. We were able to find a couple stores where we purchased a sweet wagon, some bulk candy and a lot of memories. At one store Lyndin saw a pony and worked her charm to get to see it. They even let her sit on it which she loved. I guarantee there will be a horse on V56 Farms soon enough .
Lyndin still hadn't napped and we were all getting hungry so we decided to head to Manchester for supper at Pizza ranch. After a quick stop at Wal-Mart and supper at Pizza ranch it was time to head to the rodeo. Let me tell you i was so nervous to take lyndin. Not only did she have a short nap I knew there would be tons of people and a late night. Will's other cousin and her friend met up with us at the rodeo. Edgewood is a town of 900 and they announced that there were 4700 people at the rodeo that night . Wow! We lucked out and got great seats right by the start gates. Lyndin loved the rodeo. She loves the horse and seeing the bulls. Will loves going and rewinding to his bull riding days. I think he still has the itch to bull ride but his body says otherwise. After a three hour rodeo and fireworks we were headed back north. What a fun unplanned day that turned out to be exactly what we needed. No judgement. No drama. Just a fun day. After the last month that we have had I hope we make time to enjoy more days like Saturday .
