Yee-Haw

Last year when the rodeo was here we just did the expo building stuff. I thought that would be plenty for the kids, but EG felt cheated. She wanted to "see some real cowboys"! She talked about it All. Year. Long. Why didn't her parents take her to the "real rodeo"?

This year we did the rodeo up big. I pulled the girls out of school a bit early and Big D. took off from work. We even had cute rodeo shirts:

We ate turkey legs:

We rode rides:

And.....(drumroll please) we saw the "real rodeo".

My kids favorite events were the Calf Scramble and Mutton Bustin'. Although, Barrel Racing came in a close 3rd (mainly because it had "girl cowboys")

My favorite quote of the night was hands down this: me to EG, "Maybe when you grow up you will marry a cowboy and live on a ranch and Daddy and I can come visit you." to which EG responds, "Ugh. Who would want to live in West Texas?" Now how did she know there was a lot of ranch land there and even more importantly, how did she know it wasn't that desirable a location??? Too funny!!!
