Rodeo 2013

 Cutest cowboy I've ever seen!
The rodeo has a children's area where the kids go around and harvest different Texas agricultural goods.  Then, at the end, they sell their goods at the market and get some money to buy a treat at the general store.  Such a cute idea!  Drew seemed to like it, although by the time we got there he was out of energy.  It was a LONG hike from the car to the children's area.  He used up all his energy just getting there!  We had a random run-in with Aunt KK's former roomie, Emily, at the children's area!  She was a volunteer in the market.  Small world!
 Best picture I got of him actually looking toward the camera...an "I don't do pictures" pose and a cockamamy hat!  LOL
 Finding extra wide boots just didn't make it on my to-do list this year!  This kid still has baby-shaped feet and it's hard enough finding tennis shoes to fit him.
 He's had a very rough past 2 weeks, hence the bruised up face.  Poor kiddo.



 Drew + his all time favorite thing...MILK!

He loved this soft sheep and hugged it at least 3 times!

The rodeo was fun, but overall it was super $$ for the amount of time we spent there.  If they had a toddler parking area with direct access to the children's area, it would be perfect!  But parking miles away and then fighting the crowds to get to the kids area took all the energy out of this boy before we even started the festivities!

Thanks, Auntie KK for the cowboy hat!  She bought it for Drew last year at the rodeo.  This might be the last year it fits :)

I am so glad that Drew felt well enough to go and have a nice time.

What a surprise it must have been to fun into Emily! How was she?

To bad that you didn't get to see Mary Alice. Daddy said that she didn't go to Houston this time.
