Cowboy Up!

"Now you're just somebody at the rodeo! Some-bodddddddy, some-boddddddyyy!" --to the tune of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" 

Grandpa Jerry & Uncle Cameron got us tickets to the RODEO. Unfortunately we didn't get any cool pictures of cowboys being stabbed by bull horns, but we did see this on our way there...!

[...and videos!??]

Right??

My favorite part of the rodeo was the very first event-- the bareback bucking broncos. Those horses were crazy! And the riders were all over the place. Next they did the same thing, but with saddles-- lets just say they probably shouldn't have lead without the saddles if they wanted anyone to actually think the saddled riders were tough. The bulls were cool, but the bucking horses had more agility to twist and buck about. Jord and I were secretly hoping someone would get sphered with a bull horn! Is that terrible? [Oh well.]

The fireworks afterwards more than made up for the ones we missed the night before for the 4th. The whole night was really cool, I just wish they had nachos at concessions. Mmm.
