What trip to Texas would be complete without visiting a real Texas Rodeo and stock show.  We decided to see what all the fuss was about and boy were we in for a  treat.  It turns out that rodeos and stock shows are kind of a big deal around here.  I think Austin and I were the only ones there not wearing cowboy boots.  We found a really cute little pair of boots for Mylee.  We decided since she has a few cowboy Grandpas, and a Cowboy Uncle Brittan, she needed a pair of her own cowgirl boots.  I've never seen so many goats, cows, pigs or livestock in one place before.  We all got home with our fare share of manure on our shoes, but it was worth it.  We even witness a pig race.  
Mylee couldn't get enough of the petting zoo. This kid has absolutely no fear when it comes to animals.  She was so excited to be able to get close to them and feed them and pet them.  Her favorite animal was the pigs.  That's all she would talk about, "pig, pig, pig".  It was so nice to get out because Austin's schedule has been so demanding lately we all just needed a little fun. 
So if you ever come to Texas make sure you come during rodeo season, it's a Hoot!!!
