Houston Rodeo 2013

The girls took a trip with MayMay and Daddy to the Rodeo earlier this week to go to the actual show but today I was able to take off work and bring the girls to see all the other stuff the rodeo has to offer.
I was a little nervous about what the crowds would look like so we discussed the girls each having my phone number written on the arm (under their long sleeve shirt) and that if they ever got lost from me they would find a police man or information guide and ask them to call their Mommy.  (luckily we did not need to use it but I did not realize how the number gave the girls soem security as they refused to wash it off at bath time and were very careful to not get it wet or soap on it- this will be a challenge for another day).  Back to Rodeo Day -There was a bit of a snag on finding parking but luckily I gave us plenty of time to get there for when the AgVenture opened.  The girls enjoyed the petting zoo. That is until the animals started to think their clothes were food.





After the petting zoo we made our way past the Texas Longhorns to the birthing center.  There was a pig that was giving birth to little pigglets next to a set of 13 pigglets that were born the day previous.  The girls must have stayed for 30 mins glued to both the babies and the mom.

After that we moved outside to watch some Mutton Bustin (the girls have requested to do this when they are older), the Pig races.  We then went to grab some burgers and found a place to sit.  Where the girls wanted to sit for lunch just happened to be next to where 'The Cutest Show on Earth' was about to preform.  They both got selected. Sophia to be a fancy dancer and Brianna although they asked her to be a fancy dancer with her sister selected to be a cow instead.
