Rodeo Houston Family Fun

March 29, 2017 By Callie Leave a Comment

Houston,TX

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Rodeo Houston-I received tickets to the Rodeo show in excahnge for my honest and root tooting opinion.

 

It’s that time of year…you know when you’re driving down the road and traffic’s just a going slow because there’s a Chuck Wagon full of actual chuck wagons being pulled by horses, led by Cowfolk, and the bluebonnets pop up and the boots come out. It’s a Texas tradition time and Rodeo Houston is just that! We literally go to Rodeo every year-yes Houston has that world famous, most amazing rodeo and it’s not just for those late concert going people who two step. It’s for the littles too.

 

Houston Rodeo has a livestock show as well-what’s that you ask? It’s where all our local FFA students who have advanced come and show their livestock and sell them to community members who usually donate the animals back to the students along with some money for college. It where folks from all over can come and learn about livestock and the different types of animals raised in Texas.

 

Houston Livestock show and rodeo is the place to come dressed in your best cowgirl wear and support local vendors by buying your little an authentic but has to be pink cowgirl hat.

 

It’s where you get to see real live Longhorns up close and in a most friendly kind of way.

 

It’s where you get to collect cards with animals on them-every child’s dream!

 

It’s where you can walk around and find an amazing carnival full of fun filled rides-except it was mighty windy that day and our cowgirl hat blew off and our littlest Texan wasn’t having any of that.

 

It’s where you can try your luck at fun carnival games and win not one but four new stuffed animals just by fishing without bait.

It’s where you can eat cookie dough, and cotton candy and sausage and BBQ all in one place.

You can literally spend a while day at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo-playing games, learning new things, planting, petting animals, seeing local high school art exhibits. If you get tired of the exhibit hall you can head outside where there’s a full fledged carnival with games, rides and food all in the shadow of our beloved Astrodome.

 

Houston is an amazing cultural city and the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo is a Texas tradition for young and old. Yeehaw. Add this one to your bucket list!

Houston Happenings-Dinosaurs at The Zoo

September 13, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

So many fun things are happening at our local zoo. The Houston Zoo runs a wide variety of special events throughout the year and their current event is Dinosaurs alive.

We live in a house of dinosaur lovers-both myself and Row-Dinosaurs ROAR! I put this event on my list but didn’t want to go during the dead heat of summer and the craziness of out of school time.

The Dinosaurs exhibit requires and additional ticket-for members it was $4.95 per person and included unlimited carousel rides. Which was awesome because carousel rides are normally $2. We prepared to see those dinos and ride in circles to our hearts content.

The exhibit was really cool. The dinosaurs were animatronic and they had a large variety as you walked through the exhibit.

Now we are animatronic snobs because we are Disney regulars and these dinos did not disappoint.

There were plenty of babies.

Oh and favorites.

And a grand finale!

This one is not to be missed and has been extended until October 2-make sure you get there.

Ma Jest Kids Playland

June 16, 2016 By Callie 1 Comment

Houston,TX

Ahhh summer and it already feels like it’s 100 outside-yikes. I keep putting jeans on to go outside like I have forgotten we live at the threshold of Hades temperature wise! We have fun the cutest little place over in Sugar Land to beat the heat and help Mama keep sane. Majest Kids!

Majest Kids is located in Sugar Land, TX and it’s right off the freeway so super easy to find. This place is just for littles so 5 and under only. This is great for us because sometimes big kids being everywhere, especially in the summer can be overwhelming for littles uhem and me.

You simply sign in, sign a waiver-they actually will archive your waiver so you only need to fill it out once. You pay your free-for the littles only, they mark both parent and child with ultraviolet stamps and you’re in. You can actually stay all day!

There are many different play areas and the best part there are chairs, benches, and couches everywhere for caregivers to sit and watch. There’s a cute mini pillow jumper for kids to bounce on and a section of mega foam blocks for building. Row stayed there for quite awhile.

A wooden play area with slides and door and you name it.

My fav part was the jump pit filled with Styrofoam squares but mini sized.

There are bathrooms on site, nice, clean bathrooms. They also have a dimmed room with changing tables for the littliest guests. I also saw two party rooms. They alos sell diapers and wipes! SMART! Oh and socks since you have to take your shoes off-so bring a pair for littles and grownups.

They also have a complete mini cafe with healthy options and fun options and we had a pizza made to order-sadly no Dr. Pepper-wah wah.

It was so fun and I love that you can stay all day and have lunch if you want. Great for play dates and it wasn’t overcrowded at all! Happy air conditioning.

Do you have a fun place you’d like to share? Leave me a comment-I’d love to go!
