We managed to make it down to see the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo last week to catch a little Texas fever. Really, Lilly just wanted to see the entire Reliant Center filled with every barnyard animal you'd want to see. Plenty of farm equipment was also on display, fulfilling Lilly's fantasy of seeing them up close. We also caught a few pig races, saw a bit of the FFA fryer judging and listened to a proper auctioneer sell off a hog for $115,000 raised by a 12 year old. Whew! As no visit to these event is complete without carnival food, we indulged in a heap of frito pie, corn dogs and soda pops...followed promptly with some tums. We were certainly in the minority without our bedazzled jeanwear and giant belt buckles, but we felt ok with that.
Only a few more years until Lilly is old enough for mutton bustin'!!

That is hilarious. You know what's coming for lil Lil if you keep up the fun-on-the-farm exposure? Cowboy boots and a spitoon.
I can't believe how much she looks like you Liz! That picture with her finger in her mouth--she's the spitting image of you when you were little.
Love you and can't wait to see you!
