Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo

We took the kids to the carnival and rodeo this weekend. They have been looking forward to this since I bought the tickets. The singer for the night was Jason Aldean and they kids LOVE his big green tractor song so they were very excited to see him live.

We did the carnival first. I could not believe how brave the kids were this year, mostly Jonathan. Kaela is a trooper and like me loves to get on the scariest rides. I really didn’t think Jonathan would get on any of them but he did right along with Kaela. Bryanna not so much, she was nervous about the Zipper and decided she would sit it out. Kaela said while they were waiting to get the ride started Jonathan looked at her and asked if he was going to die! She laughed and said no just hold on tight! They had a blast spending the 150 tickets we had purchased.

The kids also enjoy the actual rodeo before the concert. We love the bull riding. I could never imagine being on a bull and being swung like they do. They also have this event called Mutton Bustin’, you can only be 5-6 and you get to ride a sheep. The longer you hold on the more points you get. Some of the kids fall off immediately but others actually hold on for dear life. It is so cute and priceless to see the kids face when they get thrown off, it is hilarious!
