Let's Rodeo...One More Time

Last Saturday was the last "event" day of the rodeo. The rodeo lasts for about 3 weeks every year in February, and during those 3 weeks all the events take place (bull riding, bucking broncos, etc.) They use those 3 weeks to get the best cowboys (total score) and then the 50 best compete for the bull riding champion. $100,000 worth. For riding a bull.

But don't be fooled. These bulls are CAH-RAZY. There was one I specifically remember. He did NOT want to be penned while the cowboy got settled so he decided to climb over the gate (the cowboy got off in time, thankfully) because then the bull proceeded to FLIP over in the small space. The cowboy lasted only about 4 seconds on that one.

There were many crazy rides, only 6 out of 50 cowboys rode for the full 8 seconds. The second round only 2 rode for 8 seconds, one winning by a few points. He walked away with $100,000 in his pocket. Crazy.

After that we were treated to a Trace Adkins concert. Do you realize how HUGE he is? Well, he is. Look him up. He sang all of his famous songs including, "Chrome," "Hot Mama," "Honkytonk Badonkadonk" and many more. It was a fun Saturday afternoon in the suite with Kyle's co-workers.

Here are a few pictures!

The 50 Cowboys lined up at the beginning of the show.

Xtreme Bulls! And they were!

My pictures weren't this awesome, so I borrowed a couple from www.cowboyimages.net. See the air that bull got?!

Trace Adkins! He did a funny little hip wiggle a lot. It was entertaining!

It was a great rodeo this year, and can't wait for the next one! If you are ever interested in going, it is always for 3 weeks in February. FYI ;)
