We knew we had to make it to this event while we were living in Houston, so the girls and I picked up Nathan from work one evening and took the train from downtown to the Reliant Center. I had been to a local rodeo as a child, but everything is definitely bigger in Texas! It was also interesting to see what an event people made of it, dressing in their best Texas gear…I asked Nathan if he thought they wore these outfits anywhere else!
Unfortunately Clara was either disinterested in (livestock show) or scared of (crazy, chaotic petting zoo) the animals and Elisabeth, who usually loves animals, was coming down with a fever and seemed out of sorts. However, we had a great time riding the Carousel and going through the kid’s farm exhibit that showed children the progression of food from the farm to the farmer’s market. After taking their ‘produce’ and ‘dairy products’ to the farmer’s market, the children were ‘paid’ and got to ‘buy’ a treat at the grocery store. The exhibit was well done and Clara loved it.
