This past Saturday we slipped on our boots, which is a normal occurrence around here because the snakes have awaken from the hibernation, and headed on down to the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo. We talked about the letter "R" in school for the week and on Thursday I introduced "R" is for Rodeo, told them Daddy was taking us to the livestock show, talked about all the animals then might see and they did a neat activity book that i found online at the HLSR website.

The girls were very excited and from Thursday on Saturday became, "Radio day" as the say. Yes, they inherited some of their Mama's speech problems but at least it wasn't "Wodeo Day" as I would have said. Thank you Mom and Dad for sending me to speech therapy :)

We had a really good time! They have so many neat exhibits for the kids, even Samuel was able to participate. After the exhibits when headed over to the Horse arena and watched a horse show. The girls really wanted to see the horses and as usual, Abigail was asking lots of questions as we watched the Western Horsemanship Show.
