I Like It, I Love It, I Want Some More Of It

The rodeo was SO much fun! I knew it would be, but it's been so long since I've gone that I think I forgot all that really happens there. Monday was opening night so the crowds were insane. We thankfully left our side of town, headed over to the Reliant Center in little traffic, parked, using our free parking pass, and then made the long trek to the building. And let me tell you, it was long, COLD, and WINDY! We made the most of it though, not letting it take away from the night, but whew, it was a chilly one.

Once we arrived inside we were starving, so, in our limited options, we finally found a place to get some food . Well low and behold, the card machines were down. I promise you everyone and their mom had only a card because everyone and their mom was at the ATM. Including us. We waited, got cash, then tried for dinner again. This time to find out that the machines were up and working now! Joy! After dinner we finally made the trek to our seats. Y'all. We were on the stinkin' 15th row from the ground. FOR FREE. A huge shout out and thank you to my sweet friend Jennifer who's insurance company so graciously gave the tickets to her. The seats were amazing. We really can't complain because even though our dinner was almost $20 just for a burger and fries, we didn't have to pay for anything else. Seriously a huge blessing. Where we sat and where we parked alone would have cost us a fortune!

We sat down in just enough time to scarf down our food and then the show started! Unfortunately, we missed all the bull riding. But hey, when things are last miutue, you've just got to deal with what you can get! He sang all his oldies, but goodies, and then some! I love when they sing older hits because everyone is bound to know them and sing along.

After about an hour of entertainment, Mr. Tim called it a night. We took a few pictures, packed up our stuff and headed back home! It was a mighty LATE night, but so worth it.

I know there are SO many pictures, but I'm trying to give you the ultimate Houston Rodeo experience via blog land. Notice how many different colors the stage changes to! It's so cool. And, that huge thing rotates the whole time, giving everybody a grand experience! I hope you enjoy!

Waiting for the show to start and so excited!

FIREWORKS!!! :)

Let me explain the next set of pictures to you. After the rodeo, since we arrived right before everything started, we didn't get to take any pictures. (This is a MUST!) Anyway, we started taking some, you know the norm, couples, trios, everyone, etc. Well, when it came to take one of the 3 of us, we took one, and decided we should take another for good measure. Right after it was taken, Rebekah, looked oddly at the picture and started laughing. We were highly confused and needed to know what was going on. Well, apparently when she was taking the picture, she thought one of us were doing the bunny ears. Um. No. That would be the weird man walking around deciding he needed to interrupt the photo op. And that he did. Because after that picture, we (or should I say "I") were too tickled to take another one. That ended out photo shoot. Notice the ugly laugh. Yes, I was dying!
