Rodeo

We went to the Rodeo a few weeks ago, I'm just really behind on blogging. If you know Will, you know he lives for the Rodeo. Since before Halloween last year we started counting down to the Rodeo. He would say: "Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, RODEO!" I guess if you live in Houston the Rodeo can be considered a holiday. In Will's book it is a holiday.

I'll start off with a funny picture, but this is one of the things that Will was most excited about doing, rolling down the astro-turf hill at the kids area of the Livestock Show. He couldn't wait to do it, it was all he could talk about once we got in the Livestock Show.

Of course Luke had to do it also, but I managed to get him still for one picture.

I think this is the only shot of either of the boys all night where one of them was looking at the camera.



Will loved feeding the animals in the petting zoo. One of the goats tried to eat his straw hat. It was pretty funny.

Then we made it to the Rodeo, the boys loved watching all the events.

Will was so excited the whole time.

And towards the end came the event we were waiting for, the Calf Scramble. My brother and the boys Uncle Brent was participating this year. Both Ben and Brian have caught calves at the Calf Scramble, so Brent had a family history to live up to. And he didn't disappoint, here he is trying to pull his calf into the square.
Will and Luke loved seeing their Uncle Brent up on the jumbo-tron!

Here he is with Mom and Dad after the Calf Scramble. Way to go Brent! Now the real work begins, he gets to raise a calf and bring it back to the Rodeo next year to show.

Will is happy to know that we are going back to the Rodeo again next year.
