It's pretty sad that two months have past since our getaway to San Antonio for the the Stock Show and Rodeo and I haven't posted the photos of the things we did. I did have time to get all the shots of our trip, but we went to the rodeo and stock show. Let me preface this with the fact that we ARE not rodeo people, but we loved the rodeo!! This rodeo and stock show lasts for 18 days and features a musical artist at the end of each performace every night. We decided to attend on Friday, February 15th and had the Star Experience of a chuck wagon dinner before the rodeo and seats above the bucking chutes!! Then as if that wasn't cool enough we were escorted down to the ground (arena) for the concert of Joe Nichols. He is pretty cute and a good entertainer. It was also salute to the troops night and several in our bunch were injured soldiers and their dates who got kinda wild!! You'll have to ask for more details. It was quite entertaining for us though to see others making complete fools of themselves!! And it wasn't us :-) We also watched the pig races and the cowboys comedies. And we watched the bird show (keep your eyes peeled for that post too).
This stock show and rodeo is put on by thousands of volunteers every year. It is held at the AT&T Center where the Spurs play (of course we didn't get to see a game because of the rodeo). Maybe another year we can as we hope to go back it was absolutely beautiful!! Their web address is
