Let's Rodeo!

My parents came to town in February for the annual San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, a proud Willden favorite since 2004. We watched the pig races, had our clothes chewed by goats in the petting zoo, and pet a two-day-old lamb. Natalie had her toes licked by a calf and thought it was GREAT. We left the kids at home one night and went to the rodeo, followed by a concert by Josh Turner.

When going to the stock show and/or rodeo, it is important to dress the part. Greg and I have spent years collecting the appropriate garb--boots, hats, belts, pearl-snap shirts. The girls had to be properly turned out, too. Check them out! Nat's boots squeak when she steps on them--nice touch! My dad, otherwise known as Grandpa Ricky, likes to think he IS a cowboy, so he loves when the grandkids go country.
