He's/She's Country

We, meaning myself, Cory, Grammy, Poppy, Brooks, and Burkley, loaded up Thursday afternoon and headed up to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. We didn't go last year since B&B were only a few months old, so I was super excited about taking them this year. Both B&B love animals and have recently found a love for cows, horses, chickens, and quack quacks! The neighbors across and down the street from my parents have horses and chickens, so as soon as B&B get out of the car, their little fingers start pointing and they start calling the horseies...it's the cutest thing ever! It was a gorgeous day on Thursday and it was a bit crowded, but we didn't let that stop us from having a good time! We did miss Aunt Shu Shu, Kyla, and Shea...Kyla had croup and was running a fever, so they weren't able to go with us. That just means that next year will be even better!

Meeting Ms. Moo

Mommy's FAVORITE part...the PIGGIES!
(I raised pigs and a lamb in HS)

Daddy and his little cowgirl!
(and no, he didn't plan on matching them)

My little cowboy in the petting zoo!

Baby kangaroo

Checking out the ducks (or "quack quacks")

Calling the quack quacks to come a little closer!

Burkley loved looking at the animals, but wasn't crazy about the big ones once they got near (especially the donkey).

Brooks wanted to touch a quack quack soooooooo bad!


Is this not precious?
He LOVES animals!

Being a cowboy wears a boy out...but not a princess!

Grammy, Poppy, and Burkley

No, this is not what Poppy won for B&B at the carnival, but someone's daddy did!
I'm sure one day we will be carting something like this back to the car like this daddy had to do, but we decided that the picture would do for now!

Our little cowgirl watching/listening to an Elmo DVD on the way home!

Looks like they had a great time and we did too! We should have met up and had good ole double trouble together. They are too cute and looks like y'all had great weather.
