Houston Rodeo, yeeehaa!

Howdy y'all!

We all went to the Rodeo today and we all had a great time! We started off the day with Dad getting me some lunch (just a wee turkey leg as you can see in the photo).



Then we were off to the kid's farm! I got my own farmer's basket and collected wool, veggies and other goodies around the farm!








I even got to see some real cows and sheep! (At least from the viewing box here :) They were a lot bigger than Malley but I tried whistlin' to them too just in case they perked up like she does. Everyone quite a kick out of it.



Mom helped me out to plant some onion seeds at the garden.




Then, onto the coolest thing there, the pony rides! Yeehaa! I'm a Texan now! Here's a pic and a movie riding the pony!






After that, we got to see a Texas Longhorn (actually, it was just a short horn for the kids) then off to see a bunch of other stuff too. After Dad had some deep-fried key lime pie and mom some deep-fried mushrooms, we finished up and headed back into the sunset.

First Swim Class!

Hey there!

Well, I started my official swim lessons and boy did I have a hoot! I'm in the Starfish, level 1, and they had me going through my paces. Kicking, bobbing, and all that. I even got a chance to go down the slide! Yup, I had a good ol' time with Mom in the water and Dad filming and snapping pics. Anywho, here's a couple of those pics!



Here's me and mom. We both had a great swim.


Here's a pic from early on in the lesson, still getting used to the water, but hey, once I figured out you could splash in this stuff, all was good. :)

Houston Rodeo Parade

Yeehaa!

Me and my parents went to see a whole bunch of horseys in the opening parade for the Houston Rodeo, and boy did I have fun! I got some flags and did my best to wave them at every single parade float that went by and near everyone came over and waved back to me, pretty sweet!





I can get a pretty good view from up here...


I'm hiding, betcha kind find me...

Keeping toasty in the oh, so cold weather here. :)
