Special Kids Rodeo 2011

It took me 45 minutes of convincing but he finally let the clown paint his face. Since he was so worried about it, she did it in record time (just about a minute flat). He was so excited after it was done that he could not contain himself.
He refused to ride the cow version of this, I guess he is just a Bronco buster.
They raced their stick horses. It was pretty close but I think Chantelle won.
He kept calling it a horse but either way, he roped the crap out of this hay lamb.
He still loves Sundance. I don't think he remembered him at first but it didn't take long before they were playing kick ball. Josh just loves him so much!

Vroom! Vroom!

For those of you who don't know, we are crazy and bought Josh a battery powered 4 wheeler. He loves it. He worships it. He lives to ride it. He rides for hours at a time. He is willing to ride in the cul de sac now (he wouldn't before because that is where he crashed) and has even taught himself a few tricks: standing up while riding and going off of curbs.

It looks like this:

We were out and about and suddenly he is screeching and doing his hand signal for 4 wheelers/motorcycles/anything with wheels not a car/truck/etc.

I look everywhere. Cannot see what he is talking about. He is still doing his signal but has now started making motor noises but they are still frantic. I am beginning to feel frantic, my son is crazy. He is seeing invisible motor vehicles. Maybe he changed his hand sign to mean something else? What is going on?! As Josh's antics start to reach an all time high I see it. I can't help but smile. I let the irony wash over me and I can't help but laugh. Josh confirms what he is talking about is this sign:
