Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show

Despite Sadie getting double ear infections and pink eye only a day or two before we left for our trip for Texas, we made it! Thank goodness for antibiotics! (Once again our terrible luck with getting sick when we travel! Sadie has NEVER had ear infections and is RARELY sick...so strange!) The four and a half hour flight by myself was fine. The kids were great! Our first day there we went to the Houston Rodeo and Livestock show with Grandma and Grandpa Westover. Sadie had a great time! Connor was more concerned with getting home and playing with his cousin Cole (who had school all day), but managed to have some fun too.

Sadie loves characters!
Riding the cart that transported to and from the parking lot.
The cart ride was Connor's favorite thing of the day I think!
New chicks that just hatched.
The only animal Connor would pet-the cute white bunny.
One chick trying to hatch.
Brand new piglets.
Sadie LOVED the petting zoo!
Grandpa feeding the little goat.
Hugs!
Petting a deer!
Sadie on the Bumble Bee ride-She wouldn't let me go with her. Miss Independent had the whole ride to herself.
On the Carousel-always a favorite!

Your kids have sure grown up. Connor looks so tall.

It's always bittersweet when they want to do things by themselves for the first time. Good thing you have another one coming and hopefully she will be super snuggly! That's cool that they had a deer in the petting zoo. I don't think I've ever seen that.
