Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

Today I went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!  Aunt Linda and Uncle Bob found themselves in the possession of 6 tickets to go see Sugarland, so I -along with my friend, Dezarae- were able to tag along!  We arrived, ate a loaded baked potato and funnel cake, and sat down to watch the cowboys ride!

After some heart-pumping action, Sugarland took the stage and gave an amazing performance.  It's events like these that make me glad I'm from H-town.  :)  ..a little bit of country meets city.
Our stadium converts into a rodeo utopia!

Linda asked me to take this pic- Bob's company is a rodeo sponsor



Bullfighters work as clowns to help the riders dismount after they ride-

Buckin' broncos and ragin' bulls!


Covered wagon races!

The teens getting ready for the calf scramble...

...catch a calf and you get to raise one!

Sheep readying themselves for the kiddos-

My favorite part- the mutton bustin'!

5 year olds hang on for a wild ride!

Yep... we do fireworks INSIDE!

Sugarland was AMAZING!

Jennifer and Kristian were completely dynamic
