Rodeo

There was a local rodeo in town at the fairgrounds today to we thought we would give it a try. We got there too early and had a little too much time to kill sitting in the hot bleachers. The admission came with a BBQ lunch that was pretty good. We ended up staying for about 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves. Aubrey fell asleep in her stroller after lunch. We were able to see barrel riding, bull riding and a couple other horse events. Ethan was disappointed that we were not able to see the chicken race or the greased pig event. Maybe next year.

Here is the bull clown getting out of the way of a very wild bull.
The crazy bull was actually pretty scary. This man of the horse ended up roping him (which Ethan thought was cool) and the bull was so strong it pulled him right off his horse. He was able to get back on and lead the bull out of the arena. It was pretty intense.
Only one rider was able to stay on
Aubrey made friends with these two girls while we were waiting. They would lean over the seat and just laugh hysterically.

Ethan had a front row seat for the bull riding.
