Rodeo Houston!

We had a yee haw good time at the Rodeo this year! Tom's parents, Gramby and Pa Pa, were able to join us this year and I think we wore them out! The Pig Races and holding Swifty the swimming pig was a highlight along with riding the bull! They were tougher on Andrew this year and he held on to the very end and then fell off. Although Braden had a broken arm, we let him ride too. We asked that they go easy on him and they did, but he too fell off at the very end. And then there was Colton... he had a death grip on Tom with his arms and legs. Tom had to get on the bull and put a very scared Colton in front of him. But that little cowboy was awesome and even took off his hat and waved it around with a big smile! We enjoyed the quilts, tiny new born calfs and piglets, Borden milk, tractors, getting trading cards at all the livestock stops, crazy animal races, awesome lunch, and more... The boys even got to make their own ropes this year! We love the rodeo! Some day Tom and I will make it to the real Rodeo and a concert and next year the boys have already requested the carnival!

For those of you that get e-mail updates, check out my blog on the web for a slide show of the rodeo and other slide shows like our camping trip!
