Fancy Feasts

On Wednesday afternoon, Tiffany and I took a trip to the Houston Rodeo for some carnival fun. Immediately after we entered the sea of ten-gallon hats and cowboy boots, Tiffany made a beeline for the funnel cakes.While we made room in our stomachs for more deep-fried food, we took a peek at all the animals. Rabbits, cows, and baby chicks, oh my! I saw an egg hatch for the second time in my life. The first time (also at the Houston Rodeo) allowed me to cross off #15 on my life list.It wouldn't be the Houston Rodeo without some Texas longhorns. As you can see, Tiffany was really excited to show her Texas pride. I never got a chance to milk a cow (#72 on the life list), but there's always next year!By then, we were ready to hit the food booths with gluttonous gusto. We shared an enormous turkey drumstick, some fried alligator, and a fried Snickers. Positively sinful.We came across a big stash of Idaho potatoes, and the tubers brought me back to my roots. After pausing for a photo op, I continued on my mission for a caramel apple. Success! Then Tiffany had a blue raspberry sno-cone. We topped the evening off with a bag of cotton candy. Let's just say, I haven't eaten since!And now- I brag. Check out my smart little kitty and his expert obedience.

Doobah-
I didn't know that seeing an egg hatch was #18 on your list. And Wentworth isn't nearly as fat as I thought - very impressive with that sitting business!
