rodeo houston

our new house is close enough to the arena here in houston that we could walk to the rodeo this year. we went at the perfect time. it had rained through the morning and we were able to go in the early afternoon and leave before the concert crowds showed.

the girls were able to do a few rides

and then we went to my personal favorite...

the petting zoo.

sam really liked to hug the animals.

after looking at a bunch of cows and a really neat array of rabbits (that abby of course loved), we ate some dinner and dippin dots, and walked back home. a good night.
