We took the kids to the rodeo today. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of biggest things to come to town each year. This year, we did most of the time in the carnival part of the thing, letting the kids go on rides, eat giant mutant turkey legs, and sausage on a stick.
What we could have used were a couple lassos, as we had one heck of a time keeping the Apple and the Princess within shouting distance. They would both keep near us for a couple minutes, then simultaneously tear off in opposite directions. This was unfortunate, as we really wanted to stop by the booths and look at the vendors' wares. One of these days I'd like to get something from one of the stalls, just because. Maybe a hat, or a monogrammed belt buckle, or something.
Anyway, it was nice to do our annual redneck tribute and see the sites. Perhaps next year we'll actually get some tickets to sit down and watch the bull riding or calf roping or something.

i'm going to the rodeo on tuesday...mainly so i can try a deep fried twinkie and a deep fried oreo.
Glad you guys had fun. We've talked about going to the rodeo, but never been. (Can you believe I grew up in Houston and have never been to the rodeo?) Thanks for the invite. Sorry were didn't answer the phone. We enjoyed a lazy Saturday at home - sleeping late, washing cars, and trying to pick-up the house before my sister got here from Dallas for the week.
