....it's been forever since I've done a blog post. I wish I could be good like some of my friends that post every week. I'm going to have to work on that.
As I was deleting the pictures off my camera to get ready for our upcoming trip to Orlando I realized how long it's been since I've posted pictures on the blog and how many places we've visited during my blog hiatus. My sister, Cindy, was out for awhile recently and we visited a whole bunch of fun places while she was here (at least when it wasn't raining and freezing - although we did venture out to the zoo one day when it was in the 30s...not a smart idea!). It's always great when one of my sisters is here with us, especially since Riley loves being with them and they are always willing to go on the crazy rides or crawl through the weird little tunnels with him!!! Unfortunately Cindy left the day before the Houston Rodeo started so she missed out on that. The Rodeo is a huge thing here....it lasts for almost a whole month....the crowds are unbelievable (I think the attendance this year was 2.1 million people)....and the size of it is amazing. When Riley gets a little bit older it will be fun to take him to the actual rodeo rodeo to see the bull riding and other events. The way the rodeo works is that during the day they have the livestock area open (animals, shopping, exhibits, etc) and the carnival going. Then in the evening the events happen then after that there is a big concert (I'm always amazed at the line-up of artists they have -- from country (keith urban, rascal flatts, kenny chesney, etc) to teeny bopper pop (justin bieber, jonas brothers, etc) to more mainstream pop (black eyed peas, mary j blige, etc). I love country music and can't wait to see some of the concerts in the upcoming years.
