The Rodeo

This weekend, UTM is hosting the annual rodeo. Even if you know nothing about rodeos (that would be us), it is still fun. Plus, our child loves horses so we had to go.

Bucking broncos were first. We were on the third row, so after the cowboy would fall off, the horse would walk right by us. He liked this part a lot.

I'm not sure if he was mesmerized by the horses or tired. It was kind of tough to tell all night. His bedtime is 7:30pm and that's when the rodeo started. He even dozed off on our 10 minute drive there.



We tried to get him to pet the horse, Cornbread, but he wanted nothing to do with it. He prefers to admire from a distance. We pass by some horses on our drive to daycare every morning. I feel certain it is the highlight of his day. Maybe that is more his speed.

After a significant amount of this...

...we decided to leave. Instead of walking to bed, he literally ran. We made it until 8:45pm, which was longer than I anticipated. We had fun, and I trust that he did too.
