Rodeo time

We made our annual trip to the Houston Rodeo last Thursday. Jason took half a day off and we headed in after lunch. It was a gorgeous spring day and we had the place to ourselves since it was during the week and all the field trip kids had left to go back to school!

Clayton really enjoyed the rodeo this year. He was a little hesitant about the ponies, longhorns and other animals, but after an hour he was running up to them wanting to pet them! He especially enjoyed the carnival rides! My little daredevil rode every ride he could get on. He even guilted the carnival workers into letting him ride ones he wasn't tall enough for by crying the biggest crocodile tears you have ever seen! He has really learned to manipulate and makes a momma want to pull their hair out :-)

Brinley had a blast on the rides too. She was tall enough this year to ride them by herself and she wouldn't let us get on with her! She was grinning from ear to ear the entire day.

this is my favorite picture from the day! The looks on their faces is priceless!!!!

After 7 hours of animals, BBQ, and carnival rides, we drug ourselves home and passed out! On the way to the car, Brinley said, "this was the best day I have ever had!"......and that statement made it all worth it.

my cowboy and cowgirl have been wearing their new hats non stop since we got them!
