It's Rodeo time!

On Wednesday, during Spring break, we decided to take a family trip to the Houston Rodeo. For those of you who might not grasp the greatness of the Houston Rodeo...it is the WORLD's Largest livestock exhibition and rodeo event. Going strong for 20 days straight, it recorded 2,144,077 visitors last year requiring over 22,000 volunteers! It is HUGE and has so much to do. Every night there is amazing performers and some performers get over 75,000 in attendance per night. You get the picture...IT'S HUGE! So, we took Cade during the day as we know he would not care anything about the performers or sitting still for very long at the actual rodeo part that night. He is much more interested in spending the day doing the kids rodeo, petting zoo, learning about life on the farm, the carnival and seeing all the animals. His favorite part was the petting zoo area outside where he could just run around with the animals. I think he fit RIGHT IN! :) He was not afraid of anything and in fact didn't even care that we were there. He stirred up the crowd by chasing the animals who were running from him and scaring everyone else! He even demanded that Charles lift him up to pet the Llama, which he tried to saddle up on. Hmmmm....my little fearless angel. We're in trouble! Here are pics from the day, I narrowed it down as much as possible, but the pics were all too cute!
