Rodeo Cowboy

So while in Texas we have had some major fun! Brad was in his first rodeo and I can't even begin to describe all the fun he had! He did stick horse race, lead line, and mutton busting! He wasn't too excited about the stick horse race, but he loved lead line and he though mutton busting was the best!

For the lead line, basically you just run the horse around the barrels and anytime Brad can get on a horse he is having fun!

The mutton busting was hilarious! First, Brad is not afraid of anything (well okay not animals). He sees the pin where all the bulls are when we are walking over to get in the arena and he runs up and trys to pet the bull...I yanked him away just in time as the bull had horns and guess what he charged the pen! phew! close call.

When we get in there he gets in the pen with my brother Robert and he lays on the sheep and holds on for dear life. My brother didn't let go b/c he didn't know how Brad would react but my brother ended up eating dirt and off went my son on a runaway sheep! He still didn't let go and I was trying to film the whole thing but ended up pointing the camera to the dirt and chasing after him. He feel off the sheep after a long little ride and rolled twice in the dirt and almost hit a tractor (yes...some idiot left it in the arena and they moved it after Brad rode) and he got up and immediately asked to do it again!

It was sooo much fun! He looks like such a little cowboy. I have some other pictures of my neices and nephews riding at the rodeo! It was awesome!!!!
