Lovely McDaniel Life: Black Eyed Peas

Last night we went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at Reliant and saw the Black Eyed Peas perform, as well as lots of little and big farm animals. The show was great! I don't think I would love the Black Eyed Peas, if Fergie wasn't in the band. Their new cd is a little too futuristic sounding for me, but Fergie always puts on a great, high energy show! Well worth the price of a $16 ticket (even if we were sitting 5 rows from the top of the stadium)! Pre show we enjoyed the variety of animals parked in the arena.

We used to have a soft black lab named Velvet. She reminded me of her:)

Next year I would like to go and just spend the day looking at all of the different animals. They have a birthing center where you can see all the babies and a chick hatching center. We walked though the Breed Barn, which displayed several breeds of cows, goats, sheep, and pigs. It was neat to get a run down on how the breeds originated and what they are best known for - this was Robby's favorite part. I told Robby I think I should have been raised on a farm or at least participated in the FFA or 4-H club. A cow took a poop right in front of us and I didn't even get grossed out. Maybe my thinking would change, if I had to do it day in and day out :) Both of our grandfathers and dads did it and would probably be laughing at me right now!
