This may be my favorite picture I’ve ever taken. (besides of the loves in my life, of course!)
It sums up our Friday a week ago- EIGHT hours at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo-
the largest of its kind in the world. It pretty much takes over the south part of the city (which happens to be the area we live closest to) for about a month each year.You can see how we celebrated the beginning of the rodeo here.
{oh, there are 9 pairs of boots there!)
Waiting for the festivities to begin.
This one is getting too big too fast. Here, she’s waiting for her big sis to participate in Mutton Bustin’.
Landon, also waiting for his sister to bust a mutton. He had his turn last year.
Landon and his 2nd cousin James, who could be his twin. (not sure what the fog is over Landon’s face)
Seriously, don’t they look so much alike?
Allie with her Mutton Bustin’ award. I would have a pic of her on the sheep, but she was on there for approximately .00000234 seconds. If anyone wants to see the video, I can upload that.
I love this one, although Ben looks ridiculously uncomfortable!
Another 2nd cousin Ryan.
After spending ALL DAY on the rodeo grounds, the kids slept in the fort.
Felt fitting for cowboys and cowgirls, I suppose.
I couldn’t help lining them all up. Notice the baby’s on the right side… so cute!
Happy trails to you!
