My Son Dreams of Watching a Live Rodeo Show

Filed under: Events, Info Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 3:21 pm

I think every young boy wants to be a cowboy at some point. I remember when we were kids, my younger brother had a toy lasso and a cowboy hat. He wore it to costume parties we attended before. I have to admit, I also wanted to be a cowgirl and I even wanted my own horse. Of course, it wasn’t possible to have my own horse but I was able to ride one when we went to my uncle’s farm many years ago. It makes me smile thinking of the good old days.

Now that I have become a mother, I realized that dreaming of becoming a cowboy is natural among children. My 4-year old son has repeatedly shown interest in wanting to be a great cowboy. His grandmother even sewed a cowboy vest especially for him and I bought him a nice cowboy hat. There was a time we were able to watch a rodeo event on television and Yohan enjoyed watching the exciting activities.

I would like to bring my son to watch a live rodeo show someday so he can see real cowboys in person. I heard of The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo that takes place at Houston’s Reliant Stadium every March. It would be wonderful to get hold of Houston Rodeo concert tickets, preferably center seats and the nearer the better. I’m sure my son would be thrilled to witness such a fun and exciting rodeo show.

Hot Air Balloon Extravaganza

Filed under: Events — Tags: , — rachel @ 7:21 pm

My family and I had a magnificent time at the 12th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival held at Clark, Pampanga. We were there to witness the grand sports aviation event last weekend, Feb. 9 and 10.

 We had a spectacular time watching events such as skydiving, paragliding, choreographed kite flying, aerobatic display and the much anticipated Hot Air Balloon flight.
