Houston Rodeo

While Mom & Dad were here, we went to the Houston Rodeo & Livestock Show on Saturday afternoon. This thing is a HUGE ordeal that lasts for a whole month! It takes up all the buildings of Reliant Park----the stadium, arena, and center building. There's a carnival, kids country, BBQ championship, concerts (Janet Jackson, Rascal Flatts, etc.)....not to mention the actual rodeo competition. So we took Josie to see the kid stuff. She really enjoyed "Fun on the Farm." Josie got to grab a basket and walk through the steps of running a farm....gathering eggs, feeding chickens, planting seeds, picking peaches & corn, shearing sheep, milking cows, going to market, and then she got to spend the "dollar" she earned on some crackers! It was really neat and she loved it!

Josie doesn't quite know what to do with her cup of chicken feed.

Inside the Reliant Center, we got to see all kinds of animals (including a pig in the process of giving birth to piglets!!!). They had a display of eggs that were hatching and another one of little chicks that had just hatched. Josie loved watching the eggs wiggle around and the little chicks were soooo cute!!! Hello, friend!
