Nothin On But The Radio

T and I just returned for our 3rd annual trip to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with T's cousin and her hubs.

This year was a little different because T had been working some storms in Indianapolis and didn't think he would be able to join us.

Well, T finished all his work and got on the road around noon Friday and started his trek down south for a 20 hour journey to Houston!

Friday night I went to the rodeo with the cousins to hear Lady Antebellum. They were great! They put on a great show and can sing great live. So worth it!



It wouldn't be the rodeo if we didn't have a corndog, so after Lady A we indulged in the yummy treat



T finally made it to Houston around 4am after downing several Red Bulls and coffee. He climbed into bed and was up for the day around 8. Not much sleep for my road warrior.

Saturday was a big rodeo day! It included the steer auction with all proceeds going to college scholarships. The grand champion sold for $350,000!!

After the steer auction we headed over to Reliant for the rodeo and to hear Gary Allen. He was even better than Lady A! His band was awesome, the sound was clear, and everybody on key. Great show and would recommend him to anybody.

Some interesting boots I saw on the escalator. Meow and purr. It's clear they are custom boots, but really?!




My best friend, Erin, and her hubs also met us at the rodeo Saturday night and we all had the best time. So glad to see everybody!

If you've never been to HLSR I suggest you make plans to go in the future. They have a great carnival, fantastic rodeo and concerts after each rodeo. This is the last week and the headliners are Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown band, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, and Jason Aldean. They bring the heat. Seriously, make plans to go next year-- you'll be glad you did!
