Giddy Up

It's that time of year again! The Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo is in town. And we have been able to go every year, so I wasn't going to use a newborn (is she still a newborn?) as an excuse to stay home. Last year we went during the day and did the live stock show and then did the rodeo and concert for a date night. This year, we did it all in one day and with both the kids. We spent about 8 hours there and tried to do it all.

We went to the petting zoo.Ate some great food.

Visited the livestock and the birthing centers.
Watched the pig races.
Picked a ride at the carnival. Harrison wanted the big slide and was just tall enough to ride with me. He almost didn't make the climb to the top though, but was happy when he did.

We also got a nice view of the whole place on our way into the rodeo. Harrison loved being so high up!
And of course we watched the whole rodeo. Opening parade through the barrel races and set up for the concert.
Then we made it through the first few songs of Blake Shelton. It was a good show, but when Harrison is asking to go home and go to bed...you know it has been a long day.

Besides the school groups who sat all around us and never stopped moving around we had a great time. The kids were great and Harrison loved all of it. Raegan might be the Texan by birth but I think Harrison is developing some cowboy roots as well!
