Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo

Sunday, we put on our cowboy boots and headed down to the rodeo! This was Colter's first time to attend the actual rodeo, normally we just take him to the livestock show. It was a really long day for him, but he loved it. I think his favorite things were seeing the chickens, riding a pony, and as he put it "that singer," aka Jason Aldean. Every year we get front row seats to the rodeo called "Action Seats," and boy they aren't lying! Every time we have gone I have been smacked in the face with dirt or a bronc has slammed into the rail in front of us! I was so excited for Colter to experience this. We almost made it through the entire rodeo, but when Jason Aldean came on every time he paused in between songs Colter would say "now is the rodeo over?" So, we packed up our little cowboy and headed home.

Sooooo many steps....so little time!

Ride 'Em Longhorn (yep he is real, not stuffed)

One of Colter's favorite things to do....roll down the indoor hill

Watching the Mutton Bust'n - this is my favorite event! Colter only has two more years to go for it!

Petting the pig even though it said "Don't pet the PIG!"

Deep thoughts from a little cowboy

Hmmm....wonder if they will let me lay in that dirt?

Maybe I will just kick it?

Colter liked this pony....he kept leaning over and petting him

Yee Haw!
