Rodeo Parade 3/1/08

So, yesterday we headed downtown for this little thing that Houston hosts every year. It's called the Rodeo... Ever heard of one? Well, in Houston it is a really big deal, which is appropriate in the land where cowboys and cattle are in abundance. To kick off the events, a parade is held and everyone gets to show off their stuff, another thing Texans are good at. We snagged a great seat on the 2nd floor of a parking garage where we watched most of the parade, until we got kicked out - oops! Private property... i think they can shoot you for trespassing here. At some point someone, I think it was Thomas, asked, "Does this make us Texans now?" We decided that since we were 2 floors up, we were above it still. (Yup, that was a pun...)

This one is for Papa Mel. Except I can't remember what they said about it cause I was frantically looking for the camera! I think it was something about the horses! I'll have to ask Adam...

And talk about horses... there were a lot of horses!

That's a real John Deere tractor pulling that float...
