Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

Angie and the boys spent part of Spring break in Houston with her family.
They took a day and went to the Livestock show at the Houston Rodeo.
Gram and Grandad treated everyone to a day of food and activity and it could not have been more fun!
Here are all of the little cowpokes with Gram and Grandad!

4 cowpokes - one who took the role very serious.  Can you find the cowboy face?

 First activity on our agenda - pony rides because they get crowded quickly.  We were there just in time.  As soon as we walked up a very long line formed behind.

 Adam loved this part of the day and cried and became very upset when it was time to get off.  We will have to let him ride a pony again soon.

 Next up - tractors - this was David's favorite...

 Our tiniest farmer...

 That smile!

 After that we stopped in at the petting zoo...

 Last year David was nervous to feed the animals and this year he loved it. 

 David thought it was so funny that this cow started pooping while he was eating.  David is still talking about it 2 days later... boys.

 Happy Little Farmer!

 Adam saw the wallby and began bouncing and saying "boing boing boing."

 Sweet Little Cowboys!

 The Boys!

 Grandad spent a lot of time pushing these two! 

 Headed to Fun on the Farm.

 David was given a tomato seed to plant...

 And Adam was given a carrot seed.  Here is Adam with his carrot after he planted his seed...

 Then it was time to "plow the fields"

 We harvested corn to feed the chickens... and we collected eggs from the chickens

 We shaved the sheep to get their wool...

 We washed up after that hard work...

 Time to milk the cows...

 Then we took our goods to the market...

 We earned money for selling our goods at the market

 And headed to the general store to make a purchase...

 After Fun on the Farm we walked through to look at all of the Livestock that were being shown.  We cam across this entrepreneur... if you paid him a dollar you could take a picture with his cow.  His name is Cody from Seguin.  The cow's name is Arrowhead because of the white shape at the top of his head.

 Adam and Mama looking at the cows...

 David loved this pig! 

 Last on out list for the day was the carnival.  There was not much our boys could ride, but there were games to be played...
First was fishing...

 David won right away

 and chose this red dog...

 so then he helped Adam win

 Adam chose a brown dog.

 David was tall enough for the motorcycle, but was disappointed because the horn would not work.

 Now we waited with Lila because she wanted to ride a pink elephant!

 While we waited for Luke the boys and Angie played a duck game... picking out a prize!

 We had such a fun day and can't wait to go again next year!  Thanks Gram and Grandad!
