Rodeo

A few Sunday's ago we were sitting at home on the couch and Addison and I began watching bull riding, he really got into it so I told Adam when he got home, he looked it up on the internet and found out we were so lucky to have a rodeo coming to Columbus in two weeks.  Christian, Heather and Vivian met us at Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner and the enjoyed the rodeo with us !!  Addison and Ayla were gearing up for the rodeo in the best cowgirl/cowboy clothes we have!!

Daddy even bought a cowboy hat!!

Introducing the cowboys/cowgirls

They had bareback riding with horses and saddled horses.  Most guys made it 8 seconds on the horses, however some didn't and it was interesting to watch how they mangaged the animals through the entire rodeo. ( can you guess what is set up in the toy room... yes our very own rodeo)

Doggy tricks, they said they rescued 10 dogs from animal shelters over the years and they did some cute little tricks!!!

Only ONE cowboy was able to ride for 8 seconds.  The bulls were quite wild and hard to stay on, you could see them bucking in the pins while waiting........very interesting.  They had one bull that 48 cowboys had ridden and no one has stayed on him 8 seconds yet!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't manage to get any photos of actual riding here. They had little kids trying to ride these bucking sheep.  The kids didn't manage to stay on very long but it was fun to watch them try! Addison wants to try riding the sheep......They also had cowgirls doing barrel racing which was also very neat to watch! It was  a long show but we had lots of fun!!
