Houston Rodeo and a Cupcake

Okay. So, technically, we just made it to the Livestock Show. But we had a ball. Daddy mustered through the stinky smells and we had a great time. Sloane did inform me she was not ready to go and is "big enough" to stay for the rodeo. So I promised her we would try to do that next year.

Can you see the excitement. Ha.
First stop was the butterfly exhibit. Sloane finally captured one and was so proud!
Clay was content to check it out from a distance. I helped him get one but he did not like the way it felt on his skin. I second that. Ugh.
Good thing Sloane was thrilled. I guess it makes it worth the price of our admission tickets :).

Then, we got to go to "the farm" and plant seeds and sell our produce at the farmer's market (then you got a treat at the end). This was a really cool exhibit.

For some reason, I thought this sheep's hind end was picturesque. Woops.


The staged photo op was not a success. I do think it's neat that the fake sky and the real sky match.

And the grand finale...pony rides! They loved it. Even if Clay got into a fight with a little girl while we waited in the long line. He went up to her and said "I'm first" and she got mad and said No I'm first. It was kind of funny. He still got time out. Poor guy.





I have to say, the kids look so cute on their ponies. If I do say so myself.



Fun times!
And Happy Birthday (March 17) to Stephie!!!
