Houston Rodeo...Yee Haa!!!

This past Saturday we went to the Houston Rodeo at Reliant Park (where the Houston Texans and Astros play) with The Calder Family. It was very different from the OC fair and somehow I forgot to wear my boots, rolled up really short jean shorts and cowboy hat...what was I thinking. I definitely knew we were not in California anymore. We saw the Live stock show, which consists of award winning cows and pigs, some goats and sheep and horses. We even got to see a cow right after she had given birth and her baby running around getting used to his legs. It was really cool!

I can't speak for everyone else, but I had the best baked potato I have ever had. Who ever thought of putting chopped BBQ brisket on top of a cheese filled baked potato was a culinary god!! We also had funnel cake and Beignets which are AMAZING!!  Fair food is always the best.  

We didn't actually see the Rodeo, but next year we plan on getting tickets so we can see some bull riding.  Caitlin and I have decided to work on our Rodeo outfit for next year early so we are prepared and ready for next years big event.  Here are some pictures from our trip

Really...do we need Chicken Fried Bacon????

Indiana's first cowboy hat.  I think she needs to grow into it
