we have made it a tradition to go to the rodeo parade every year. dan went when he was a kid and it is fun for the kids (and me) to dress up in their cowboy gear and say yee-haw!
but sometimes the parade can be kind of boring for little kids....and kind of long...and very crowded. so we decided to try the rodeo. we went to the slack competition which are on the days leading up to the actual rodeo. it might not be as exciting as the actual rodeo but the kids had fun. i think we are going to do this every year!
it. was. awesome. ok....so maybe not awesome....but pretty close. i would have to say it was much better than the parade. it was nearly free...we sat in the front row...in chairs...not bleachers....hardly any crowds...perfect weather.
apparently dan was in charge of making sure the kids didn't fall overboard
the horses were tied up at the end of the stadium so we were able to go down and pet them. also during the competition there were several cowboys that would ride up on their horses and give the kids a high-five!
