My first Rodeo

Brian caught wind that I had never been to a rodeo before, so when THE WORLDS TOUGHEST RODEO came to Wells Fargo, of course we HAD to go!  It was a TON of fun and I love going out and doing different things out of the ordinary.  (plus, it makes for a good blog post right!?) :)

These first couple pics I took with my phone and you probably saw them on facebook. Have I mentioned that I love my phone and all its apps??

Ready to go!  Cowboy boots and all!  (Thanks Jamie!!)

 

 


Gotta love self-timer pics. :)  These were taken the day before our diet.
Maybe these can be our 'before' pictures

 

These are just a few of my favorite pics! 

When we were coming in they were checking your bags for water and they saw my camera and asked if it was 'professional' and if I could take the lens off.  They told me I had to bring it to my car or check it with guest services.  (um no thanks!)  I said "ok" and walked right in and to our seats. oops!

We were setting in the second level in Wells Fargo so we were not close at all.  We had a great arial view and the animals looked huge from up there so I can imagine what they looked like up close!

First up : Bare Back

Next: Saddle 

(intermission: monkeys on sheep herding dogs...I am not joking)

It really was quite amazing. I have video on my phone if anyone wants to see it. :)

The Rodeo clown.  There was some down time between events and riders so this guy had to 'entertain' us.  I use the word entertain loosely.

Next: Bulls!  (mean SOB's!)
The bulls were fun but only 2 people stayed on for 8 seconds.
Do you see the snot coming out of his nose!!  

Do you see this guys face?  Awesome.

Then: Barrel races.

Last: The FINALS

These two guys job was to protect the rider from the bull.  I think I'll keep my day job.

Overall I give a Rodeo 2 Thumbs up.  This one seemed a little drug out, it would have been great if it had more riders and less 'entertainment'.  I got a good taste and I would go again.  Who knew I had a hidden cowgirl in me?

Its too bad we didn't have the boys to take to the rodeo because they would have LOVED it!
