Fiesta Days Rodeo




This week is the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days complete with Rodeo, fair, fireworks, and carnival. Yesterday we went to the Rodeo and saw some mutton bustin', bareback ridin', barrel racin', steer wrestlin', tie down ropin', and bull ridin' cowboys... among other things. There were two parachuters that landed right in the arena, and of course the clown who ended up being a professional motorcyclist and putting on a show!


Of course, this picture would be a lot better if we had cowboy boots...


You would be able to appreciate this video if
you had been there, because all the other little
kids were only able to hold on for 2 seconds or less.
Then this little guys blows them (and us) all away!


And then, this kid upped the ante a little more
by riding the sheep one handed like a "real cowboy"




This post wouldn't be complete without a couple bareback and bull ridin' videos!




Poor guy

Aww...how cute do you look?!? Looks like fun! I told Matt the Days of '47 rodeo was going on now, and he was like "you like the rodeo?" I was like "duh! I'm from TEXAS!!" haha Love all the pictures!! ;)

PS We didn't like the movie. It WAS really boring, and all you heard for the first hour was "waaaaaall-e" & "eeeeeva" I was glad when it was over.
