Family Date Day: Rodeo Edition

To follow the theme of keeping busy to keep our mind distracted this weekend, we decided to go down to the Houston Rodeo.  We normally go down during the week, but with Little Buddy having to be in Minnesota for the majority of his Spring Break next week, we decided to try a weekend.  We thought Sunday might be a nice day because the rodeo events start earlier so that way the kids wouldn't be out so late.  Unfortunately, the weekend crowds were more than we had anticipated!  WE still had fun, but our visit to the livestock area was crowded and rushed a little overstimulating for both kids.  I think we'll go back to a weekday visit next year!

     

     

     

It was so crowded that we didn't get to take the amount of pictures we normally do in the livestock area.  However, we did find the tractors, which are always a big hit for our cowboy and cowgirl!

    

     

Somebody's legs were getting  bit tired from walking in his cowboy boots, so Daddy gave him a lift over to the events arena.  Just love that happy face!

     

A little difficulty viewing the events this year.  Although both kids really liked watching them, Little Sweetie did NOT like the volume level in the arena, causing us to walk out to the club lobby area and watch through glass.  Next year, we'll be sure to bring her headphones!

All in all, a lot of fun was had and the kids enjoyed the animals, the events, the popcorn, the ice cream, and their souvenir lassos (Little Sweetie is especially enamored with hers)!  Making it through this day marked making it through the rough anniversary weekend.  We did it, and we managed to make some good memories to help dull the ache of the tough ones.

Until next time,
