Rodeo Time

Yesterday we took Elijah to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. When we first arrived we went and looked at the livestock. He really liked the cows, especially the baby calves. Then we headed to the Kid’s Adventure area. This is such a nice set up for kids. Elijah had a blast! His favorite, hands down, was the petting zoo. They had pigs, sheep, goats, lambs, baby lambs, and lamas just to mention a few. Elijah might be little in size, but that did not deter him when it came to petting the animals. He even gave some of the them a hug. Too sweet! He also had fun playing on the tractors. The tractors were green just like in his book and that thrilled him. Elijah loves anything with wheels on it. So when he saw the huge wheels, he got the biggest smile on his face. Before lunch, we decided that Elijah needed his first cowboy hat He loved wearing it which really surprised both us. We brought our rodeo adventure to a close by checking out the many vendors booths. All in all, it was a great family outing.

Just had to share this- when we were approaching the entrance of the fair, the enormous Ferris wheel came into view, but Elijah didn’t react at all. But when he saw the large construction crane sitting nearby, he got so excited. I just had to laugh and think “Daddy’s boy”. :)


Checking out the livestock


The smile says it all - he LOVED the petting zoo!


Now this is what I call a wheel! :)


Maybe in a few years my feet will be able to touch the pedals.


Howdy partner!
