College National Finals Rodeo...

We took the kids to their first rodeo tonight.

Couple of observations...
  • Simon and Garfunkel music as a prelude to the rodeo is surreal as is the Scooby Doo theme song during bull riding.

  • We need boots.

  • "Goat tying" as an event is a little, well, weird. (First time we've seen this event.) For more on this see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_tying and for video see: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/goat-tying-championship/3000625042

  • We need hats.

  • I'm back in the land of Frito Pie!! Haven't had it since our Texas days. (Fritos, chili, cheese, onions - wow!!)

  • We need Wranglers.
  • Bull riders and rodeo clowns are insane. I think this every time I go to a rodeo. :O)

Good night and a yeehaw to ya!

:O) Christy

And you did this on purpose why? I think it's wierd. Personally, it must be a vikings thing--I don't know of any Bears fan who would do such a thing.

first time for the kids, but not their last, I'm thinking! Cody has one every night...gotta love the clowns, gotta fear for the riders...isn't it just about as American as you can get? yippe ki ya yea, get along little doggies, for you know that Wyoming will be your new home!
