Days of '47 Rodeo

After a fun day in the sun, on the boat, we went to the RODEO. Let me explain...We (meaning the kids and I, Brian was already a fan) became fans of the rodeo during our days in Tucson. We went every year to the Tucson Rodeo and the kids LOVED it! Last year when we went to Steamboat Springs, we went to the rodeo. It just so happened that there was a PBR Event going on the day after we arrived in town for our vacation. Well, the kids just sit and stare...they are mesmerized by the cowboys + cowgirls riding around making it look so easy.

After we arrived, we quickly found our seats and settled down to enjoy the show. Ella noticed right away that there were people walking up and down the aisles selling things. Well, she kept raising her hand, trying to flag them down. We ended up buying some Kettle Corn, Cotton Candy + Lemonade, and at one point Ella tried to flag down the Glow-Stick guy who was way across the stadium. It was HILARIOUS! We had fun, but the car ride home was another story. Everyone was tired and cranky....it wasn't pretty! We can't wait until next year!
