The Houston Rodeo is coming to town. It is the largest event of its' kind in the world! We found out last night that they set up camp with the horses and maybe cowboys in the field across from our dog walk! Mama is excited about that. There is a large parade through downtown the weekend before it starts. The rodeo itself lasts for three weeks. There are many events including concerts (lots of country singers), a carnival, shopping, livestock shows and the rodeo. There may be other events that we don't know about. Mama is not sure if she will go to anything. Dad's job here may end right before the rodeo starts. There is talk that he may be extended, but we don't know for sure. It is very possible that we will be here for a month without Dad. Mama said she doesn't want to go to this by herself. She may ask someone she knows from here if she wants to go. We are just excited that we will be able to see the horses and maybe some cowboys.
I definitely need to get a cowboy hat or bandana before the rodeo comes to town.
We do have this flag on our site, so we are somewhat festive.

I really like your greyhound flag.!
ReplyDeleteDid you make it yourself?
Great cowboy hat on the grey.
That sounds really fun. You should definitely go. But, even if you don't, at least it sounds like they will be setting up camp close enough for you to see some of what is happening.
ReplyDeleteHazel, I bought the flag online several years ago. I am not sure who I bought it from, but they are still making them. Ours it getting pretty faded and I am thinking of ordering a new one.
ReplyDeleteYour flag is very cool. You must get at least a bandanna. I love horses, they fascinate me.

Love the flag! Greyhounds just look so cool in bandanas.
ReplyDeleteThe rodeo sounds very exciting!

Can totally see you in a 10 gallon hat and bandana. Now you just need a cowboy nickname.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gyeong...cowboy nicknames for Joey & Scout! How cool. Being so close to the camp should be interesting. I don't think I've ever been to a rodeo, and a rodeo in Texas, that's the ultimate.
ReplyDeleteJoey,
ReplyDeleteYou and Scout have the best adventures with your Mom and Dad! You guys are lucky. We hope your Dad doesn't have to go away for such a long time.
Tell us what you see at the rodeo camp. We're very interested.
Love,
Truly, Maggie and Walker
