Rodeo Time! Yee-Haw!

John took the day off and we took the twins to the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo carnival.  Christina and sweet Elyse met us there for some rodeo fun.  We all had a great time and need to make this a yearly tradition with the cousins. 

Ready to rodeo!

Sweet cousins.

The first of the fried foods of the day.  That is fried cookie dough.  Yep you read that right.  Fried cookie dough.  I am only allowed to eat like this once a year so we lived it up!

We stopped to watch an animal show.  There was a tortoise, porcupine, sloth, and armadillo.  George loved it!

 Elyse watching us ride the elephants!

 Here we go Clara!  She loved it.

George's first rodeo carnival ride. Woohoo!

The twins played carnival games and won cute stuffed animals.

Watch out Dad!  Ready, aim, fire!

All three kiddos rode the carousel and would yell, "Yee-haw!" every time they saw Mommy.

George got "branded" by a real life cowboy!

We ate more carnival food...chicken tenders, fries, sausage, onion rings.

Then we went to meet some animals.  The kids loved this part.

 He had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. This kid loves animals!

 Baby goat on the back of a llama.  Clara was fascinated!

Elyse even enjoyed the animals!

We went to the livestock show to check out the big animals.  Clara was not too sure about these huge cows sleeping behind her.  

Checking out the show.

 All worn out!

Headed home!  See you at the rodeo next year!  Yee-haw!
