The Friday the Rodeo kicks off in Houston is always go Texan day. Rick had missed a few due to trips elsewhere but this time we were around on the day that almost appears to be invented for our little Rancher Rick.
Kaat also was ready but preferred hats on other people's heads.
"I'm a lone-lonesome cowboy...and a long long way from home..."
All day Rick wore his head with pride and refused to take it off. When he went with Dad to the park this afternoon to see all the Trail riders and their horses (riding the Historic cattle trails - and there are many - in preparation of the Livestock show) he fit right in...
Rick attracted quite some friendly cowboy-to-cowboy nods and appreciation and one offered to show him the ropes - literally. When he found out Rick was only 2.5 he was even more impressed but suggested he would wait a few more years -;)
The horses were still hot-steamy and sweaty from the ride but Rick loved every second near them.
The boy is definately a Texan - he greeted everyone with a 'Howdy Partner' - has hat hair and he knows with not a 2nd doubt the difference between a Donkey & a Horse. That and the fact that he loves country music and dances like a cowboy......
