Hot Time at the Rodeo

This weekend we braved the crowds and heat for a cultural experience at the Houston Rodeo Kids Carnival. We weren’t prepared for the super hot day and million mile walk from the parking lot. Matty was pooped by the time we got to the kid rides at the carnival - thus the dead face on the carousel. Katie, on the other hand, seemed energized by the crowds and happily marched about in whichever direction she chose. She refused to hold anyone’s hand and so we had a tricky time herding her along in the right direction. Matty’s favorite part was the “Goliath Slide” - a big old slide you ride in a potato sack, and Katie and I enjoyed watching the Mutton Busters. She was a bit baffled at first by the sight, but loved seeing the sheep and action. By the time we made it back to the van we were nearly dead (Luckily a nice man in a golf cart had pity on the pregnant lady with heat stroke staggering through the parking lot and gave matty and I a ride back to the van. Phil had gone on ahead carrying a sleeping Katie.) We vowed next year to skip the carnival and just send the big boys to the actual rodeo.
