Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo - Bar-B-Que Cookoff!

I MISSED YOU!

Lance was good enough to call his cowboy friends and we got into the Rodeo for free - and got a wrist band!

Ahhh.. the wrist bands... the only things that get you INTO the BBQ tents. The more you get - by just "making friends" the cooler you are - and the more tents you get into!

Oh yes, and did I mention that every 5 minutes, there were gangs of Miller Light Men walking around with 10 cases of ML each? WOW.

All of the BBQ tents were decorated!

One of the streets of BBQ street -

It was wonderful that I got to visit a new spot that my Pop* was almost 10 years before!

Ah yes - Mar Mar got to salute the wonderful Men and Women serving our country!

Even the young cowboys made it out!

The best looking country singer we saw - Jon Wilfe! Yee Haw!

Fun, Fun, Fun...







Who knew you could WIN Murphy at the Carnival?!

Yeeaaaaahhhh.......

I saw this nice guy getting his picture

taken - how nice!

And the fun times at the Rodeo begin!

Lance and his girls -

We couldn't go thru the night without going on a ride!!

It looks so fun and simple... but you get to going really fast and it's kinda scary!!

What a beautiful ending for a fantastic day!
