This year we decided to go to the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. For those of you who aren't familiar, it's the largest rodeo in the United States and carries on for 3 weeks. Since we're not really a Cowboy-Up type of family, we decided to pass on the actually rodeo and visit the carnival and live stock shows instead. We left the house at 2:30 PM that afternoon and didn't get home until after 9 PM that night. We were exhausted, we walked the entire time, and still only saw about 1/3 of what was there. The carnival alone is so big that they have a sky-lift that can take you from one side to the other. Brenna had a great time! Of course I had my concerns, but Brenna is fearless, so she rode the kiddie rides all by herself. Jacob and I joined in on a few. She enjoyed the top view of the ferris wheel with her daddy and I had my fair share of slides down the giant fun slide. Brenna actually slide by herself, but I had to accompany her to the top because I was nervous about her on the stairs. We walked so much, I didn't even feel guilty over the chocolate and caramel covered deep fried snicker I had while we were there. Yummy! Here are a few pictures from the day!

She loved the pony ride and we rode a camel
Brenna picked out a new lawn mower for Pawpaw! And we couldn't leave the rodeo without a cowgirl hat!
