Houston Rodeo

We went to Houston's Rodeo this weekend with Ben's family. My nephew, Micah was the best dressed baby there with his little cowboy hat and plaid shirt! 

It was my first time to ever attend a rodeo, and I was pretty blown away with the size of the event! There were petting zoos, chicks hatching, pig races, cows being milked (yes, I gathered information on raising a jersey cow at home... turns out it's pretty pricey), rides - tons of rides!, Freebirds, and of course the actual cowboy events in the evening. 

"Free the Goats! Free the Goats!"

"Elena meeting Miss Moo"

Evan spent most of his time on the tractors and trucks on display.

Next year Evan and cousin Micah might be fighting over the driver seat, but this arrangement worked out pretty well this year. 

If the rides were free, Elena would have done them all. But they aren't and she didn't. She did get to go on two with Dad... and loved it!

I can't believe this was your first time at the Rodeo. We went to the Houston one several times. It's huge compared to the one here. The one here was nice too. It looks like the kids had so much fun.

Looks like a blast! Mya and Audrey would have loved that slide. Sorry we missed you guys this weekend, but it sounds like you all had a wonderful time with family.
