R O D E O & Rascal Flats Concert!

Our buddies the Linfords invited us to the Houston Rodeo this week and it was a blast! With giant roasted turkey legs, 12 inch Sausages on a Stick, cattle ropin' and some bull ridin', I felt like we had an authentic Texas rodeo experience. And Rascal Flats put on an awesome concert that evening. I loved shouting the words to some of my favorite songs, and not being able to hear my voice over the band. That is a great thing. Thanks Linfords! I think the Houston Rodeo will become a Larson Family tradition! We sure appreciated the Harvey's letting Ian come over and stay until an unspeakably late hour that night. I bet Ian had a great time trying to keep up with his buddies Matt and James.

Can you see that Sausage on a Stick I am holding? It is as long as my forearm!


A happy caveman.
The stage rotated, so everyone in the crowd had a chance at a good view. I usually watched the big screens though. I thought the set-up was perfect.

I want to go back already! I have finally recovered from my Sausage on a Stick, fries, and funnel cake, and I am ready for more!

Rascal Flatts are so good in concert! That rodeo sounds like a lot of fun, but that meat does not look appetizing to me at all! (The funnel cake sounds good thought!)

That sausage on a stick is sheer genius. AWESOME.

I LOVE FUNNEL CAKE. I actually made some at home the other day. SO GOOD!

Lisa said...

Wow, Liz MADE funnel cake? I'm jealous.

It looks like you guys had so much fun! Rascal Flats knows how to put on a great show. We went to see them in Indianapolis two years ago, it was a blast! I wish we could of went to see them again.

Brandon and Jenn said...

Thanks for going with us. We had such a great time.

PS--I'm glad the music was loud enough that you didn't have to listen to me sing along! :)

That meat looks disgusting!! I can't believe you are still alive to write about it.

Sausage on a stick isn't really my thing, but I'd be all over that turkey leg. Yum! There is something that is so delicious about all that heart stopping fair/rodeo food... so irresistible.

Jean said...

That is AWESOME!!! What a great time! And Sausage on a Stick... brilliant!! We need more foods on sticks. I don't know Rascal Flatts super well, but I LOVE their cover of Life is a Highway from Cars. I rock out to it sometimes when I'm home by myself. :-)

That turkey leg looks delicious!!! I love the cowboy shirts too! Amber and I (mostly me) are totally jealous that you got to see Rascal Flatts in concert.
