Rodeo!

It's Rodeo time in Houston! We've lived in Houston for almost four years now, and we finally attended our first Rodeo. However, it won't be our last. It was SO much fun! Here are a few pics we took yesterday.

Claire meeting Miss Moo

Claire LOVED Miss Moo! I think the feeling was mutual!

Claire loved the bunnies. She wanted to pet them.

Driving her first John Deere... Look out, Uncle Adam! I think you may have some volunteer help for your ranch in a few years. (Although you know her daddy will insist on "a small fee.")

And what would any carnival be without a funnel cake?! It was de-lish!

Everywhere we go, Claire attracts attention. While standing in the funnel cake line, girls of all ages surrounded us asking a million questions and telling me how adorable she is.

We had a blast at Rodeo. It's the best people-watching event I've ever attended. There simply aren't words to describe some of the characters we saw!

We recommend that anyone wanting to visit us or Houston, come during Rodeo next year. It always takes place during the first three weeks of March. It's the only time of year that the weather is perfect (mid-60's to mid-70's), and Rodeo is the perfect "Texan" entertainment!

Claire celebrates 10 months on Monday! She's changed a lot this month. Watch the blog for the update and hopefully a video!
