Matthew's Field Trip to the Rodeo





We had so much fun at Matthew's class field trip to the Rodeo Fairgrounds. (For all you non-Texans, this is a HUGE deal!) We all went through "Planet Agriculture", where the kids (and grown-ups) learned about the cotton farming industry in TX, wind power usage in TX (it seems that TX has a lot of hot wind that someone decided could be put to good use. Yes, I laughed out loud when the lady exhibitor said that!), all the TX wildlife, and so much more. Afterwards, we went outside to watch "Sister" the cow be milked. Poor Sister- she looked like she was about to bust! And, wasn't it nice of Mrs. McCrea to wear a scarf that perfectly matched the tent behind her?
