Houston Livestock Show!

We skipped school again today. The girls never miss from being sick so I figured it didn't matter. We got there EARLY! We were able to get to ride the horses, see the birthing center, and the petting zoo ALL without a line. We've always had to skip the birthing center bc the lines are so horrible. It was really fun to see the tiny animals (and a little gross since some had JUST been born...if ya know what I mean) But I must admit the tiny pigs were my favorite. I wanted to hold one SO bad!

While we were outside trying to find a place to eat the girls started dancing to the music. This women came over and said they were doing random acts of kindness and gave my girls two cowgirl hats! The hats had little "texas" pins on them. Of course it was really windy so they kept falling off so we held them the entire time!





We rode some rides with the girls this year and they had a blast. Reese was more into the rides than Saige was. They did the "Golith Slide" and their faces were PRICELESS! The girls looked beyond scared. I was really surprised they climbed the stairs all the way to the top w/o help. The kind carnival dude wouldn't let me help saige :( When Saige got up to the top the man tried to sit her in the green slide and she kept moving herself over to the pink. HA! He lost. He eventually let her go down the pink slide. EVERYTHING with her must be pink! She even cried and refused on ride because the pink car was taken.????

Daddy was the hero of the day! He did a duck ring toss and won!! Reese had her choice between a dog or a snake/dragon thing? She wanted the dragon. She always surprises me.




Reese did the eruo ball. We were shocked she wanted to so we let her. It was a large pool of water (not deep) and the kids got into a big bubble and bounced around. Reese had a smile on her face the entire time! Saige was very sad because it was for 4 and up. She really wanted to try.




Here is a picture of the girls in the little "farmer" area. We've also skipped this in the past because of the LONG lines.
