Houston Rodeo 2012

Being a TeXaN the majority of my life, we look forward to the rodeo coming around each year. The kids were getting all geared up and getting ready for the rodeo season. Grandma brought over hats that the kids enjoyed using to get into the spirit of the season :)

Channing was not too excited about keeping it on!

Much happier just hanging on mom!


Cavin didn't mind! He tried on them both!

On Monday afternoon I took Ella out of school early and we headed over to the "kids country" portion of the rodeo. We went over with my mom, sisters Natalie and Marisa, and Marisa's son Liam. We started on a few rides at the carnival!

Cavin laughed his guts out on this one!

Then we went over to "Fun on the Farm" where kids got to pretend they were real farmers.

They got a bucket...

Then planted a seed of the vegetable of choice



Then they milked the cows!

And when they were finished they earned a pretend dollar to spend on a treat. It was (I think) the kids' favorite activity.


After that we headed over to the "pig races" The kids got to watch cute little piggies run in a little circle. It entertained them for a few minutes.


Cute Liam and Marisa

The weather was great and it was fun to hang out with my mom and sisters. We had a good time...besides the kids whining from having to walk and lack of sleep ;) And this is how Channing felt about it....She is such a sweet baby!

The next night I went with a group of friends to the concert portion and much to my dismay we saw Enrique Iglesias. I was not too excited about seeing him, but it ended up being an entertaining concert and it was just fun to have a night out and hang with the girls. The one disappointment was how short the concert was...he sang for like 50 minutes. That was all. Oh well. It was still fun!

I'm glad that you had fun at the rodeo, but next time if you want a REAL country/farm experience you can come visit me!! Your kids could even try milking a real cow, bottle feed little lambs, ride horses, etc. Love ya! I sure wish we lived closer.
