Rodeo Day

Yesterday was Rodeo Day at K's school. I have heard that Monday was Texas Independence Day or something and some schools had this kind of day in honor of that. I heard or saw nothing to make me think that was the reason our school had it. I guess it was just fun, or someone in charge forgot to tell the out of state people why we were having the fun.

I went to volunteer. I got lucky this time and did not have to run any events. I just followed the class around and helped the aide keep everyone in line. I did carry several cowboy hats that kept flying off in the wind. It was fun to watch them barrel race with stick horses and have clown racing where they raced to change into rodeo clown clothes. They were pretty cute.


They took some pictures and I snuck some too. This one is a little blurry or something but the best I got. I got some cute ones of the whole class but can't post strangers' faces on the internet.



I stayed until lunch time, so I had lunch with K. They had chili pie. Very healthy. Fritos, meat and cheese--no beans. Corn and cornbread too. I did not stay but they also had made chili and had a chili contest that afternoon. I think everyone won something. But K actually tried chili and liked it-- even though "it looked like throw up".

In the cafeteria I HAD to take of picture of this. Isn't this one of the cutest things you have ever seen??

I really do love Texas!
