Bunnies, Cows and Zebras....Oh my!

We started the week off by going to the mall and visiting the Easter bunny. After our anti-Santa experience, I was skeptic on whether she would sit and have her picture taken. So, we sat and watched him for 10 minutes with no problems, then he turned and waved to her......she started screaming and ran away! After we got her calmed down, we realized we weren't even going to get her near him! So, we took her to play with the interactive floor they have at the mall. Here is a video of her enjoying that! Sorry it is a bit blurry, but I took it with my cell phone!



Yesterday, we headed out to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It is the worlds largest rodeo and I loved going every year growing up as a kid. They have a massive carnival, lots of animals raised by FFA students, interactive displays for the kids, rodeo and musical performers. I was watching the news at the beginning of the week and they were showing clips from the rodeo and Brinley kept running up to the tv yelling "MOO!" when they showed a cow. So, we decided to take her and let her enjoy the moo's! She loved the petting zoo (which had calves, goats, pigs, zebras, sheep, and ponies), watching the pig races, and looking at all the animals. I think she said Moo about a 1000 times because she said it every time she saw a cow! After seeing all the sights, we enjoyed some bar-b-que (an absolute must at the rodeo!) and headed home. Brinley passed out as soon as we got in the car from all the excitement and sun....it was 87 degrees!
