Woo hoo! What a blast we had at the Houston Livestock Show and Carnival. Rylan and I went down to the Rodeo festivities today with Megan and Mason. When we arrived there and parked, we had to take a little tram ride to Reliant Stadium which Rylan thoroughly enjoyed. We began our day watching the pig races and then headed into Reliant Center to look at all of the livestock. Rylan loved seeing the cows, pigs, bunnies, and chickens.
After eating our bag lunch outside, we ventured over to the "farm." This was a very cute and interactive setting in which kids wear an apron and gather eggs after feeding a chicken, plant a seed and gather a vegetable, get wool from a sheep, milk a cow and receive a carton of milk, pick a peach from a tree, and then grab some corn on the cob. At the end, there was a "market" in which the kids had to sort all of their goodies. They received money from the market and then were able to purchase something from the grocery store. It was very cute, but exhausting for a mommy chasing a little boy from station to station. Rylan really did an outstanding job and was very excited about "buying" a juice box from the grocery at the end.
The next big adventure was the pony and carousel ride. Both were huge highlights of the day. I was not sure Rylan would enjoy the pony ride, but he LOVED it, especially since the pony's name was Sarah! We had a wonderful day and look forward to returning in the next couple of weeks.
