It's Rodeo time!

 A few months ago, we decided it would be great to see Sugarland in concert with the kids.  We all have fun jamming to their music - and it's kid-friendly for sure.  I found out they were coming to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in March and decided we had to get tickets.  Kevin and I haven't been to a concert at the rodeo in probably 5 years at least, but saw this as a great opportunity and good family fun!\

I bought tickets from a friend of mine at work who always has lots of tickets since she has been on the rodeo committee forever.  We left work at 3:30 on that Thursday of the concert and headed over to Reliant.  The kids were super excited!

The kids are ready to go!  Yeehaw!
We walked around the carnival for a while, ate some dinner, and headed in to the concert.  Our tickets said 6:45pm so we were at our seats just before that.  Come to find out, the rodeo started at that time...not the actual concert!  It was entertaining to watch some of the events like the bull riding, calf roping, mutton bustin', barrel racing, but we didn't realize that Sugarland wouldn't be on stage until 8:55pm!  That is late for our kids! 

Our cowgirl was so excited to see the concert!

The concert lasted an hour and the kids loved it!  We had fun singing and hearing some of our favorite Sugarland songs. 

Handsome little cowboy!
A little bit of poor planning on our part for the timing of the concert, but luckily all of the events kept all of us entertained!  Not sure if we will get to go back and see all the animals and go to the petting zoo before the rodeo is done for this year, but it was a fun night at the concert and the kids did really well considering it was 2 hours past their bedtime!
