Road Rage and Houston Rodeo!!!

I'm finally on Spring Break! :) How is your weekend going? Yesterday my dad and I went to the Houston Rodeo....we had fun once we got there! We live just north of Houston so it takes us usually about an hour to get to get to Houston. Well...yesterday it took us THREE hours to get there! Texas Department of Transportation closed down two main highways in Houston due to a gas spill. We had to end up taking all these back ways...it was a nightmare! I was driving so I think my dad was a nervous wreck the whole time! Ha!
We decided to eat at the Pappasito's which is located right by where they have the Rodeo....I was sure in need of a margarita after three hours of road rage!
When we got to the Rodeo we first went to the Livestock part! I love looking at all the little shops they have set up and the animals! I made sure to take a picture next to Miss Aggie the hog!
There was also Miss Bevo, Miss Raider, and Miss Sooner!

Saw em' off!!!
I love the birthing section of the Livestock Show where they show little baby pigs, lamb's, and calf's that were just born!

Do you see the "It's a Girl" sign? Bessy just had baby Isabel!
The Rodeo started at 6:45....my favorite part is the Bull Riding and Mutton Bustin'! Mutton Bustin' is kinda like bull riding. But it's when they place a child on a small sheep and the point is for the child to stay holding on as long as they can. It is soo cute! Usually by the end the kids are crying!We saw Toby Keith last night....he put on a pretty good performance! Oh and I was so happy because I got my funnel cake too! :) We didn't get home till like midnight....I was exhausted!Today I'm going to go lay out! The high today is 70 and it's sunny! What a perfect way to start spring break! :) Oh and my best friend Kimberly is coming into town tonight! Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!
