We felt like true Houstonians last night when we attended the Houston rodeo, which is apparantly a really big deal. One of Brad's vendors gave us tickets to go see Rascal Flatts (who we love!). And we found out that the Houston rodeo is not just a rodeo but some fun combination of the State Fair, Rodeo and Concert. Grayson loved the petting zoo, running from animal to animal to pat all of them. He looked like he owned the place. We think he's destined to be a farmer when he grows up, but I think that's more of something you inherit these days, not something you just become. He also loved his first theme park ride, which he technically was not even tall enough to ride and we didn't even have tickets, but when he ran through the gate and started climbing up onto one of the bees, the guys told me to just go ahead. Sometimes it pays off having an out of control toddler :) None of us really cared all that much about the rodeo part, with the exception of a little sport I discovered for the first time called Mutton Bustin, which is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Since Brad's parents have sheep on their property, I'm thinking we could start training Grayson to participate in the event :) A great time was had by all, with maybe the exception of the guy who sat in front of us who Grayson tapped or touched or kicked at least 15 times on accident....who are those people who are dumb enough to bring their 2-year-old to the rodeo???

And this is Grayson's back-pack, which we purchased for pre-school a few days ago. He is all of a sudden obsessed with it and insists on bringing it everywhere. Doesn't he look like he's running away from home?
