I grew up very near Sidney Iowa also better known as Rodeo Town USA… I try to go every year even though it is bound to be hot. As in OMG-what-I-wouldn’t-do-for-some-snow-right-now-HOT! Mason really enjoyed the rodeo this year which I was happy to see. Unfortuntely he is still on a camera strike. So there are no photos of him. Well there are but they are of the back of his head or of his profile. I love him to pieces but I can’t wait until he is over this phase!
Here are just a couple of the photos I took that night…
Every year during grand entry they honor the soliders who have served, are serving, have fallen and on this night those local soldiers who have recently come home. These men deserve so much more than the few seconds of applause they receive.
I LOVE when the rodeo clowns look right at my camera!!
I still can’t believe anyone would willingly get on the back of a crazy bull! I have no clue how these bull riders walk the next day. I had problems and all I did was sit in the stands.
I’m not real sure who’s idea it was to bring in the motorcycle jumpers… But I guess they were entertaining if you are into that sort of thing. Personally I would rather have seen more bull riding…
I am praying my son never wants to try either of these sports out… I’m thinking a nice quiet sport… like baseball… or better yet, chess…
