Texas Rodeo!!


Here is our adventure at the Texas Rodeo! It is chronologically backwards... but it works! Haha
These are the guys that do the "bareback" and they have to stay on the horse for 8 seconds and how they stay on, they get point accordingly to their "perfection".

Pretty tough guys if I do say so.

Dinner time!!

Hannah with her Texas Ranger hat and her Texas sausage!

That turkey leg was tough! Nick took forever to eat it!! haha


Can't have a rodeo without the cattle.

The old days!!!
What Dad calls "the boot". It was over $10,000. CRAZY!!!



Only in Texas.

This is where the livestock and shopping was. Very fun.



This was a memorable time! I loved it. There were many different categories during the rodeo, and afterwards there was a concert. We were tired, and we didn't know the singer, so we left after a few songs. It was fun to walk around the shops and see all the "bling-bling" that the Texan women wear. And let me tell you.... It is BLING-BLING. All the real cowboys had their vests, big belt buckles, nice jackets, and their handy-dandy cowboy hat. Very nice. We walked around a bit, and we got free beef stew. This whole experience was amazing, and a total culture shock. Nothing like Porterville. It was like the Springville rodeo on "steriods" as Nick would say. :) We all had fun.

Until next time,

Ang!

P.S. Before we went to the Rodeo, Mom, Dad, Nick, and I went to Friendswood. As some of you know, it is where we used to live. We stopped by the lot where our house used to be. We went back to the tree house, and memories where flying! We drove around and saw the schools, and all the shops. It was fun. Just thought y'all would like to know that.
