This IS my first rodeo...

Neither Finley nor I had ever been to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo before. I have been to the cook off and the concerts in the past, but never to see the Rodeo itself. I must say a Texas sized good time was had by all.

Outside the pig races
Getting ready to see the piggies run

And they're off...

The Aggie pig came in first, whoop!

The Fun on the Farm exhibit was super neat

We got to feed the chickens to collect an egg

Pick the oranges from the tree

Harvest an ear of corn

We also planted a seed and got a bell pepper, milked a cow to get some milk and traded it all in at the market for some money, which we used to buy a box of raisins at the store.

Waiting for the elevator to get to our seats for the rodeo

Ready to watch the show

Let's Rodeo!

Having snacks and watching the horses...

This is fun!

The cowboy got bucked off the bull

Chuckwagon races!

Instead of a helmet sundae, we had cowboy hat sundaes! Finley flipped out after she ate all the ice cream. We had to leave the suite after that.

We had a great time watching all the rodeo events and headed out just before the concert began (neither of us are big country music fans and it was getting to be Finley's bedtime)

We saw the championship pig

And the championship cow

And all the other livestock on display

So long rodeo...see ya next year!
