Go Texan Day

This time of year always means one thing in Houston: Rodeo Time!! Last Friday was Go Texan Day, which is when half of Houston decks out in their finest Western wear in support of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The kids love to join in the fun with their hats and boots.


We take the Rodeo very seriously around here, ha!

Howdy partners!

A pink cowgirl hat is the perfect accessory to any precious outfit!

This year, we aren't planning to attend the big Houston Rodeo but decided to check out the local Katy Rodeo instead. We joined some friends on a gorgeous night for lots of Rodeo fun. The kids usually enjoy the carnival part of the Rodeo the best, and this year they really got into the action.

Kaitlynn loved the train ride.

The Mommies had fun, too!

Our 5 cowpokes at the Rodeo.

Before we could head home, a funnel cake was a critical requirement.

Headed home after all the fun.

And here's a random tidbit about the Houston Rodeo...the Trail Riders have a long journey to get to the Rodeo and they ride in from all directions. We encountered one such group on our long commute to Connor's school last week. As much as we love the Trail Riders, they can definitely cause some traffic headaches, ha!

Trail Riders on Highway 6. The kids loved them!

We have lots more Rodeo fun coming up, stay tuned!

  1. I do love this time of year and getting to see your Houston Rodeo pics. I look forward to these much the same as I look forward to Katherine's pumpkin patch pics each year. What a fantastic tradition that you all get to enjoy!
