San Antonio Rodeo

Every year in February, since Brent and I have been an item, we have always gone the the rodeo. We love it. Since having kids, it is so much fun to add them into the fun. We have taken the kids to the stock-show part of the rodeo since we have had Ezra. It has been something the kids really love and ask about it. They even get to go to the Houston Rodeo with my mom and her husband, for a whole weekend. It is in our blood.
This year was so much fun. All three kiddos are at GREAT ages to do such fun things with. They are somewhat all "independent" and don't need constant attention or being held. They like to do things, explore and have opinions on what they would like to do and see. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE where we are at, in our lives, that is.
So, this year at the rodeo was great. We went on a Tuesday when kids were still in school and the area was pretty much empty. We got to do what we wanted with no lines and crowds. We rode ponies, ate lunch, saw the wild animals, got lots of free samples, went to the petting zoo, watched pigs race and even went into some of the stock-show barns.

Brent and I even went to the real rodeo and concert part with some great friends of ours. We went and saw REO Speedwagon. Who is that, you ask? There songs include, "can't fight this feeling", "keep on loving you", "take it on the run". I know you are singing along now. :) It was a lot of fun.
