Rodeo Time

I have been living in this wonderful state with my husband for 5 years now andnever been to the rodeo. Who does that? Everyone goes to the rodeo. It is just what you do here. In years past I have either had a baby or been too pregnant and sick to go. I decided we needed to snap out of that mode and go. So I consulted with my better half and we decided to get four tickets to the rodeo. Evan would take the three girls and I would stay home with the boys. 'Cause seriously, who wants to manhandle a baby through a rodeo followed by a very loud concert?

Evan took the very excited girls to the rodeo and they got to see Alan Jackson in concert. They had so much fun. Taneal enjoyed the rodeo art the most. Camie thought the huge rabbits were way cool. And Danielle though Alan Jackson in concert was awesome. 'Course when he first came out on stage she asked Evan why there was a grandpa out on the stage. They had fun.

The next day around noon, Evan called me and asked if I wanted to go to the rodeo. We had been given two tickets to the rodeo that day. We would have to hurry and find a sitter and Gavin would have to come with us. But the kicker was this: Brad Paisley was the concert after the rodeo. And the seats were AWESOME! How could I refuse? And manhandling a baby? Yah, I'm all over that. I do it all day, why not at a rodeo being sung to by Brad?

It was pretty fun. Gavin did great. We kept having to put the ear plugs in his ears so he wouldn't cry over the loud noises, but he was wonderful. Evan was pretty good company too. And now I have been to a Houston rodeo. Yee Haw!
