Yeehaw! Ride 'em cowboys!

We took Katelyn to her first (and I must admit my first) rodeo last night. It was so much fun...a little on the warm side but definitely fun! The bank is a sponsor this year and so we were able to get free tickets for Justin's mom, dad, and brother and for the three of us. It was a nice and inexpensive outing. Our main purchase was this lovely pink cowgirl hat for Katelyn. I think it suits her perfectly. Pretty in pink! We arrived around 6:30 so that we could watc the Muttin Bustin. This is where the little kids around age 4 and 5 climb on a sheep and ride it as far as they can go. A girl won for the night and she did a really good job. Katelyn wanted to ride to but mommy isn't ready for that yet. I told her maybe in a couple of years. I'm thinking it took me 24 years to make it to a rodea...maybe another 20 or so until I want to watch someone I know, especially Katelyn actually be in the rodeo. Anyway, there was a touching speech about our freedom and what the flag stood for and a great grand entry parade with the Rodeo Rounders (the pretty girls on horses). It was great fun and I would suggest it to anyone who has never been before.
