Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

Last week someone blessed us with free rodeo tickets to see Clint Black.  So, we packed up all the kids and headed on over.  It was cold and rainy but luckily everything was inside.  We opted not to go to the carnival since that wasn't inside.  But the kids didn't miss it at all.  There was so much to see there.  This was the kids' first rodeo to go to.  And it couldn't have been a better one.

We got there around 2 and stayed through til the concert (around 8).  We only stayed for a few songs though because we didn't want to get stuck in bad traffic, plus it was already pretty late.  The kids each got to pick whatever they wanted to eat, and they each got a souvenir.  Nicole ate a sausage on a stick, William picked corn dog and fries, and Josiah picked a 1/2 lb. cheeseburger (which he ate ALL of).  And for souvenirs...Nicole picked silver horse earrings, William picked a cowboy hat, and Josiah picked a lasso rope (which he made himself).  (In case you're wondering...Caleb ate tamales, and got a stuffed toy frog for his souvenir).  We had a great time, and we're really glad (and grateful) we got to go before we left.

That song sounds so sad. :( Especially because I'm gonna miss you guys SOO much when you go. If everything goes accordingly, I will be a nurse by the time y'all get back! That's SO long!

Good pictures.
