Yes, I know, this may not sound like much to you but you have to understand, there were so many things I could not (enjoyably) do while married to the person I was married to, that I am now taking the time to do things I have always wanted to do. I always wanted to see a guy do the bucking bronco thing at a rodeo. Well, last night my sweet boyfriend took me and my son to see that and a lot more, including a country concert, another first.
One of the things I liked a lot was the cute little kids doing mutton bustin.
Where the little kids hangs on for dear life while a half shaved sheep goes running through the arena.
I was really impressed by the guys who hang on to the bareback horse and try to stay on for 8 seconds.
I was super impressed by the girls who did the barrels. I mean, they obviously have trained those horses and themselves to control themselves enough to get around those barrels fast and smooth.
It was obvious these kids really took a lot of pride in what they did and in their animals. Kind of made the whole "redneck" thing a little easier to understand. These people are serious about what they do, about their heritage. This is truly something they can be proud of.
Its a neat culture, I'm glad I live around it.
The concert after was Trace Adkins, not a favorite, but still enjoyable music.
The whole thing was real was nice, and my son loved it all. So overall, a wonderful evening.
I actually thought I was not going to be able to go, but then my boyfriend surprises me with tickets and off we went.
How sweet of Tony! Hey, we just got off the phone and you didn't tell me about this, LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun, I've still never been to a Rodeo, knowing me, I'd spend all my time wondering if the animals were happy about their lives, LOLOL.
I do like barrell racing though!
sounds like a fun time :)
