Rodeo Cowboy

For Christmas, "Santa" left Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo Tickets in our stockings.  So, we headed to FW for the rodeo on February 4th!  My sister even rode the train into town from Austin to join us.  The boys had been to a small rodeo before and Hudson is OBSESSED with watching bull riding, so everyone was excited.

First, we headed into the petting zoo!

 Of course, Hudson wasn't a big fan!

 Then, off to the Midway!

 Sterling and I rode the ferris wheel and it was pretty high up! 

 Our boots

 Hudson REALLY wanted to ride the BIG slide with Auntie Tay Tay

 But, he got to the top and Tayler had to drag him onto the carpet because there was no getting down any other way

 And, of course, he LOVED it and wanted to ride again!

 The slide made him brave and jumped on the dragon roller coaster with Bubba

 Does he love it? or hate it?

 

The verdict is still out, we're not sure how Hudson felt about it, but Sterling rode it again

 

 After so much fun it was time for the rodeo

 Can you tell they're excited?!

 and then it was pretty much downhilll from there.  Hudson fell asleep in my lap soon after.  Although, he did wake up in time to see bull riding!  I am so thankful, because I think he'd have been heartbroken if he'd missed it.

We hope Santa makes this a family tradition because it was tons of fun!
