Rodeo

Ryan took the day off yesterday to take us all out to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. We had such a fun family day! We watched pig races, did the petting zoo, rode ponies, ate delicious rodeo food, got chocolate milk from Elsie the cow, saw newborn animals, played on tractors, and did mutton bustin. It was a beautiful day, and we just had the best time!

Mutton Bustin' is like bull riding for kids. Except instead of bulls, they ride sheep! It is hilarious! This year at the Kids Country area they had a mutton bustin arena with shows every hour. We got Jackson signed up for the 12:00 show. He was so excited about it!

Video of Jackson Mutton Bustin'!! They asked the kids what they wanted to be when they grow up. Jackson's answer was "a person who breaks down towers." I'm a proud mama- haha!
