Boo for rain! It has been cold, cloudy and rainy in Houston for the last 3 weeks, and it’s currently raining right now as I’m typing this. I would give anything to see the sun and for some warmer weather! Well since it was raining the day we went to rodeo, I came prepared and brought a couple small umbrellas.
The carnival consists of all the usual rides and games (including a 1,700 foot gondola Sky Ride across NRG Park) as well as a “Kids Country Carnival” which caters towards younger kids. You can also find all the carnival food imaginable. Chicken fried bacon? We got that! Fried Twinkies or Fried Oreos? That too! Not in the mood for funnel cake? There are also tents full of food vendors that offer anything from BBQ to Tex-Mex!
What a fun rodeo!! The cowboys hats, the grilled meat & the music, I just love it!
The rodeo looks like so much fun, and it sounds like the Fall Out Boy Concert was great!
Fall Out Boy was a lot of fun! My son had a great time, that was the best part! 🙂 I like rodeo concerts cause there's no opener (except for all the rodeo events lol) so you dive straight in to the music.
Everything "Texas" rolled into a fun event! 🙂
This looks like so much fun! I've never been to a rodeo!!
I've never been to the rodeo, but I've heard nothing but good things! One of my friends even raved and raved about that bacon wrapped turkey leg! haha!
Oh wow, I love that firework photo; capturing fireworks is hard! This looks like such a fun day, and all of those animals are just so cute. The chicks, aww!!
I'm very jealous that you got to see Fall Out Boy!!
I loved it, I'm originally from Sonora, Mexico and I always felt we had so much more in common with the Texas than the rest of Mexico.
Awe what a fun day! I saw Fall Out Boy once as well and I thought they pretty good live! Love all the photos and those chicks are soooo cute!
…Funny–when I think of rodeos, I don't normally think of Fall Out Boy!!…
We always have a great time at rodeo! Now you have a reason to go to Texas 😉
Haha! I told my husband he should have gotten that! But he opted for the regular turkey leg, I think the bacon wrapped scared him lol.
Thanks Marcella! Love farm animals… especially baby ones! That baby calf that my son was petting was soooo fluffy!
Lol yeah not your typical rodeo performance… this year they had John Legend, Pitbull, Ariana Grande and Fall Out Boy as their "non-country" performances! Something for everyone 🙂
I was totally surprised they were performing at rodeo! So glad they did cause it was a great show! They will be in Brussels on October 14! 🙂
I'm a sucker for baby animals! ha It's my favorite part of rodeo! 🙂
Perfect! I just looked it up and I think I'll get myself some tickets tomorrow! 😀
I feel like I missed out!! Looks like like a blast
You were there in spirit 🙂 ACL this year?!
oh the funnel cake!! haven't had one in a while!! they sell something similar to them here , they're called schmalzkuchen.. but they're mainly sold at the Christmas markets.
I would love, love to go to a German Christmas Market one day! So jealous you pretty much have them in your backyard 🙂
