Let's Rodeo!

It's an annual tradition for my parents to take their two grandboys to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. We look forward to it every year! Here are the boys:

I had to take the opportunity to wear my cowgirl hat, too!
The guys
My favorite cowboy (who refused jeans, boots, or anything else that would hinder his ability to "pet cows")
Ready to rodeo
The boys with Bevo - - Hudson was largely impressed by the longhorns' big bottoms - sheesh!
Can you tell Cooper is excited?! We laughed because C was talking so fast and loud that it was clear how thrilled he was to be with Hudson. This picture really describes the day!
C has a true love for animals - every year he LOVES the petting zoo. He wanted to get right down in their faces and he even tried to kiss a goat! (Good thing the goat gave him the cold shoulder before Cooper could plant one on her!)

Pop couldn't resist the opportunity for a pony ride for his two best boys - -
Cooper's broad grin never left his face!
Long anticipated carnival rides were made better with dairy-free ice cream while we waited (good thinking Uncle Jon!)
You can't pass up the pink elephant ride - I don't care how old you are!
Happy!
Not much is more fun than a family ferris wheel ride...
Here's Hudson and his daddy Jon.
Super Coop (who wasn't afraid!!) and mom



Can't wait until next year!!
