Let's Rodeo!


Yesterday we returned home from our time in San Antonio, and after dropping our bags at the door, Liam and I went to the Mesquite Rodeo with our friends, the Daultons.  We had a great time cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls and watching the stuggle between man versus beast.  (Or little kid versus beast as the case may be in mutton busting.  Does anybody else wonder how in an age where spanking a child has become so taboo, it's still okay to put your child on a bucking sheep and hope that he or she doesn't get knocked out or broken bones while the crowd cheers wildly?).  Anyway, our little guys attentively watched all the events, laughed at the silly circus clowns, and returned home with Texas-sized dreams of lassos, bulls, barrels, and calves.
