Houston Rodeo!

Round 1
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of the largest in the country. We always went growing up. The animals and rodeo events are fun to see, but every night there is a concert that attracts most people. A big group of gals from the ward, about 20 in all, went for a Girls Night Out when Sugarland was playing. We had a great time!!




We did some dancin'...


And tried fried foods on a stick!


Here we have fried snickers, twinkie, cheesecake, and brownie. Anything you want, you can find dipped in batter and fried up at the rodeo! I hadn't ever tried any of these, but heard they were so good...


Well, they weren't! I would not recommend any of them. They weren't terrible after a few bites, but definitely not worth the hype. But fun to eat! ;-)


Then some of us went on a few carnival rides. This was a ton of fun! I haven't been on a carnival ride, or even a roller coaster, in years. It was scary and hilarious all at once... we couldn't stop laughing!




ROUND 2
A few nights later, a couple of us went to see Tim McGraw. Come on, who doesn't want to see him! He is so cute, and it was another night of fun!


Nora Robinson, Me, Teri Graham.


Of course we ate more yummy rodeo food.


And when the concert was over we even got to do a little line dancing! The rodeo goes on for about 3 weeks, with a concert every night. It would have been fun to go to even more, but I guess we'll have to see what we can get into next year...

That looks like so much fun! I miss rodeos badly!! It seemed like growing up there was a rodeo in every small town all summer long in UT.

I'm wondering about a girl in one of your pictures. She is on the same row you are on in the group pictures. She has a grey sweater on and shoulder length brown hair. She's also the last girl in the row, she's doing the peace sign. Is her name Sheralyn? She looks just like a girl who moved away from Anchorage, but I can't remember where she moved. It would be crazy if that were her!!

Yes, I did know Sharalyn. Will you please tell her that I said hello? She was in my friend, Nichole's ward, but I saw her at get together's. Small world!
