Me and My Boys: Spring Break: Rodeo!

Apparently hubby has been wanting to go to the rodeo every year since we've been here (who knew he was such a cowboy at heart?!) and he decided on Friday to seize our last chance to check it out. As we were driving up, I lamented the fact that I didn't have a pair of cowgirl boots to wear! If ever there was a perfect occasion to sport a pair of Texas boots, it would've been to the rodeo. The children in the family who HAD boots didn't even want to wear them! For shame! Ah well, we did alright with our sandals and tennis shoes.

The rodeo had never really been on my radar so I may not have had my happy face on when after our first fifteen minutes there we were dripping with sweat, had experienced one bloodied nose and multiple meltdowns...and we hadn't even made it from the parking lot to the entrance yet! After getting our tickets and making our way to the giant Agriculture building our day took a 180 (the blue slushies may have helped) and hubby was able to take all the credit for a great adventure by the time we left. :)

They had a ton of animals to see ranging from your standard cows and goats to bees! The boys all enjoyed that. Lil' peanut was beside himself when we discovered the John Deere exhibit. After a bit of a rocky start we really had a great time. Baby was super chill being carried or cruising in his car and the big kids were both well behaved and just a lot of fun to be around.

I uploaded the pictures from my phone so they're in random order...

Big brothers had the best time teaching this little guy the old "see food" trick. All three of them were cracking up at each other!
