Our Visit to the Rodeo

Last Saturday we took Haley to the Houston Livestock and Rodeo show.  We went on Sunday at 9AM becuase we knew the crowds would be a bit less at that time on the weekend.  We met up with a friend from my work and her husband and daughter, Landes. Haley had a blast!  Rodeo comes to Houston in March every year, and I always go several times.  Last year I took her on a Friday, but she was still a little young and just looked around.  This year she got to see all the animals, go to a petting zoo, and ride on her 1st pony ride!  She always makes us laugh because we think she is so different from other kids.  You will notice in the photos attached that she isn't really smiling or laughing, but basically taking it all in. 
She was too much on the Pony Ride.  She didn't laugh until the last lap around.  She just sat there, looking around, and started to lean back...really far...and even the worker came and tried to help her sit up and hold the saddle (of which she had no part of)  Funny, then she cried when she had to get off of the pony.  Guess she was having more fun than she was letting on!

While we were in the petting zoo, Haley tried to clean all of the shavings that other kids were putting on the animals off.  She was able to see a llama, baby goats, big goats, roosters, pigs, kangaroo, and donkeys.
Love the Llama!

We had a great time as a family at the rodeo. I can't wait to continue taking Haley each year and see how much she enjoys all of the animals...her way!
