Rodeo

Wednesday night we went with Mom and Dad to the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo to see Alan Jackson. I love to go to the rodeo and I couldn't wait for Bella to experience it this year.

Mom and Dad

We ate at our favorite hamburger stand, "Paradise Burger". We eat there every year. They have great burgers!! Dad and Bella after we ate. Bella really liked her boots.....mostly in her mouth.

We took Bella to the kid zone to the petting zoo and she got to pet the goats, llama, pigs and even a baby kangaroo. Terry, Mom, Bella and I missed the actual rodeo this year because I had to go to the petting zoo. This is the part where I said, "Don't put her on the llama!" And so did the zoo keeper. Of course I took a picture anyway. May as well, she was already up there.

Look at the baby goats!

Bella meets a goat.

Bella was giving this goat her lovin.....

And then this other goat wanted her lovin....

If Daddy hadn't have been there they would have knocked her over to get her lovin.

The little cowgirl.


Dad went on over to Reliant Stadium to watch all the action and we got in just in time to see very small children ride sheep. Yep, that's right, 4 year-olds in bull riding helmets and vests, hanging on for dear life to sheep. They would fall off and cry. Not real sure what I thought about it but they all got trophies in the end, I guess that makes it better. After that interesting sport we enjoyed listening to Alan Jackson.



Bella did so good though the whole thing. She had earplugs and even took a nap. In this picture she was actually watching the fireworks.
