Rodeo Time

Tonight we went to the Red Desert Rodeo. Did I bring a camera? No. Did Rick? No. We forgot the camera and we were at Katie's first Rodeo! Idiot!!! But I will tell you it was pretty fun. There were some world champion saddle bronc riders, and they were good. Have you ever seen a wild horse race? Two teams release a wild horse and two guys try to get the horse under control while the third one prepares to saddle it and ride around a barrel. It is pretty funny to see these cowboys with a wild horse's head between their legs as the saddle cowboy tries to get that saddle on.
Did you notice something in the above photo? Look close...

Rick is turning into a real cowboy. All that's missing is the hat. Who doesn't like a man in cowboy boots??

As for me I have no cowgirl paraphernalia yet. How can a girl live way out here in Wyoming and not have boots and a hat? It's a darn dirty shame. I will just have to remedy that quickly.

Katie said that she will be in the rodeo someday just like all the pretty girls who "shoo the cows into the pen." She's talking about Miss Rodeo Wyoming and if she puts her mind to it she can do it. She already knows how to saddle a horse: "put the blanket on, then the saddle then tie it on, then get on the saddle and put your feet in. Make sure you're wearing boots." I gotta get some boots!
This week is full of rodeo's, parades, and the fair. Keep watching!!
