Friday afternoon our family had our first Houston Livestock Show experience together. I wasn't sure what to expect since I hadn't been to THE Rodeo in many years, but it was so much fun for all of us. There was a large children's area outside with an interactive "Day at the Farm", a petting zoo, animal races, and carnival rides and games. Inside the arena were all the animals and more exhibits including live chicks hatching, a cow milking demonstration, honey bees, sheep shearing, and bunnies to pet. Needless to say, the girls had a great time. And mom and dad did too!
Princess got a souvenir of some wool that had just been sheared off a sheep, and she has divided it into little bags to pass out to all her classmates at school tomorrow. She is so excited to share some of her experience at the rodeo with them. Her favorite part of the rodeo was riding the ferris wheel. I'm not sure what Pumpkin's favorite part was, but I know it was NOT the petting zoo! She wouldn't touch any of the animals. She just whined the whole time we were in there.
