Mesquite Rodeo

Saturday Mommy and Daddy decided to load us up for a road trip to the Mesquite Rodeo. We were quite a site with 4 kids 5 and under, but we got gussied up in our finest western wear and went to see what the fuss was all about. This was not my first rodeo (ha ha), but it was for the rest of the boys.

cheese!

We settled in after signing up for the random drawing for mutton busting.

This rodeo has lots of kid friendly stuff too. Life face painting.

Cowboy Spiderman? Sign me UP!

Correction, sign us both up.


And speaking of signing up, after doing just that, Maxer and I BOTH got drawn to participate in mutton busting. Never heard of it? Well, its where little kids (3-6) get to ride a sheep. It's pretty fun.

Here we are getting the pep talk before heading to the arena. Yes, the big arena...where we ride sheep in front of everyone...fast sheep. Mommy took videos with her iphone, but we can't figure out how to upload it here. I'll keep trying!

But since I'm sure the suspense is killing you....success! We both rode the sheep, and we both got trophies. Max almost won the whole thing. He missed it by about one sheep length.

After mutton busting, we headed back to our seats with our new trophies and light up swords (perfectly appropriate for a rodeo don't you think?"

We had a great time. I cannot wait to go back.
