Rodeo

So i guess im the laziest of all of the people that are blogging here, cause im pretty sure they all have things about the rodeo already ... but i know that there are people that would just love to read one more persons view on it, So here is mine ...

So, i guess i was kinda looking forward to the whole event, i had some friends that went to something similar a few months back and really enjoyed it ... me however im not sure if enjoyment is the right word ...

We took a little photo just to show how we felt about the rodeo ...

So i think i was going for a little confused/scared look ...

Ok so the event ranged from (these are just what i think, im sure others feel other things, and i can see that maybe it just a culture thing ...) So there was the ...

... entertaining - poker with a bull running at the guys playing
... kinda boring - women riding horses doing line dancing for 4 1/2 hours
... bizarre - A monkey riding a sheep dog herding some sort of goat/sheep
... poor standard - men trying to throw ropes around bulls, and mostly doing a poor job of it!
... mixed - Bull riding, was kinda verging on being entertaining until one guy got kinda crushed and suddenly it wasnt so entertaining
... darn right awful - Ok kids age from 4 years old riding sheep, most of them made it about 2 feet before taking a face dive into the dirt (see below)


But lets not make this whole event a complete flop ... now i always like to find a positive or two ... and well this photo contains 5 of them :D (and there werent just 5 positives either! we had a two 15 people van loads of people!) these were just the lucky few that had the pleasure of sitting near me!
