Rodeo!

We went to the Galveston County Rodeo yesterday.  We had so much fun.  The kids got to "drive" some tractors and mowers and we all went into a great little petting zoo.  It was such a nice day I'm really glad we were all able to go.

We tried to get a picture of all three on the scoop but it didn't work.  It rarely does, but that's half the fun.


Wesley and Violet checking out the animals in the special pen.  There were some fawns, a kangaroo, a pony and in the far corner a porcupine.





The BBQ's are huge in Texas.  We walked through as the competitors were cooking up Brisket and Ribs.  I wish I could capture smell with a camera it was wonderful.
Here are some of the funny animals we saw.  A cow with an actual ring in it's nose.

A turkey making a break for it.  He was put back in his cage pretty quickly.
A goat tasting the diaper bag.




Violet loved the goats, they were just her size and she kept going "maaa" at them.

Great Pictures Ellen! We did have a great day. Wesley was so sad to leave and wanted to go back again. But, we were all tired so we just went to bed.

We had a really fun day. We were all ready for a nap by the time we got home too. I'm really glad we went.
