Yeeee-Haw! Dixie Stampede!

Did I mention that we went to see Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede in Orlando while Bill, Lynn, and Dave were in town? Well, we did. And it was really neat! They did a whole Christmas-themed rodeo show (North Pole vs. South Pole) and put in a touching little manger scene that dropped right out of the ceiling! Jen was squealing at the herds of real head-butting sheep and cute baby goats.

Other cute animals included the racing pigs and the chickens being chased by kids from the audience. The kids ran toward the chickens to scare them into running across the finish line. I don't think any of those kids had ever seen a real chicken before in their lives. I'm not sure who was more scared of whom! At any rate, the chickens seemed to know what to do (they're pros) and made it across the line. Oh the memories! (I had a pet chicken as a child.)

I like these dinner show things :-) There's lots more in Orlando... just give us a good reason to go see one!
