The Rodeo

We decided to take Kelsie to the Livestock show and carnival at Rodeo Houston. She loved it! She liked riding the train (metro rail) into the stadium. She enjoyed seeing all the animals and really loved the little petting zoo they had there. Surprisingly she also wanted to ride several of the rides they had at the carnival. She rode a genie ride with kids she didn't know which really shocked us. She also gave a kiddie roller coaster a try. She did say that it was a little scary, but that it was fun.

Her favorite part was a little section they had for the kids to act like farmers. They collected milk, wool, and some crops by doing certain tasks (like milking a cow or planting a seed) and then the kids sold their crops at the end. She was really excited when she realized that the money she made would buy her a real juice and snack! She couldn't stop talking about that for the rest of the time we were there. Kelsie is really into what is real vs pretend right now, so it thrilled her that the snack was real!

I can't wait to go again next year! I hope by then she will be ready to experience the actual rodeo by then, but we will see.
