MY THREE SONS....LIVIN' IN TEXAS

3/19/2009

Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 2009

Every year is always so fun at the rodeo. This year it was cold and rainy, which made it a little crowded inside, but that didn't stop the fun! Here are the boys waiting so patiently to ride a pony.


Finally, after all that waiting, they had a blast riding the ponies. Austin didn't need any help, but Braeden wanted me nearby, so I got to walk with him. The ponies were going pretty fast, and snapping a picture was pretty tough. Andy got this picture with both boys on their horses. Braeden was interested in the mechanics of the wheel that spun around as the ponies walked....hmmm, future engineer? We'll see!

Petting the piggy!


The sheep had just been sheered when we got there. They must have been cold without all their wool!



Of course, what's a trip to the rodeo if you don't drive a John Deer?


Notice the skill Braeden has with this. He has one hand on the wheel, and one on the stick!
