Ye-Haw

Last Tuesday we went to the Houston Rodeo for the first time. Actually, this was our first rodeo ever.

We got to see Keith Urban perform that night. Can you say LOUD?!? I guess I am getting old because I was ready to leave after about 4 songs. I think I was more impressed by my camera's zoom capabilities. We were up in the third level of Reliant Stadium.
Matt after the first calf was roped. He was not a happy camper! We were both shocked by what we saw but he thought the cowboy had killed the calf. I had to explain what was going on and for days after he would ask me about the calves.

Silly boys.
Matt watering his pretend onion seed with pretend water. Since we had planted our own garden, he was very confused by the plastic seeds and no water.

Guess what Matt is saying...have you figured it out....let me help: " I see your bottom, I see your bottom!"



That is why we did NOT buy the animal food. I have no idea who this lady is but I felt so sorry for her. So sorry that I had to snap a picture :) Thanks for the tip Karla!!


I love this picture. The tractors were HUGE!!

Can you see the look of pure joy on his face? I heard him say "sweet" at one point when he was on the tractors.

Well, my grandson has one over me, I've never been to a rodeo. I love the pictures with the tractor, he has the same look when he's on gruncle's tractor. Looks like he had fun with the exception of the calves.
