Rodeo

Last night we took the older boys to the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo. It was so much fun! We had great seats thanks to a co-worker of Gary, Jan Baden. We loved every minute of it. It was "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" night in honor of breast cancer awareness so the boys all had their pink bandannas. Tom even got pink bands on his braces this month in anticipation of the rodeo. I can't believe we've been here seven years and this is the first year we've gone. I hope we make it an annual tradition now even though it was a very late night on a school night.

Here is one of the cowboys riding his bull. This bull actually fell and rolled onto the cowboy's leg but he made it out okay and even opted for a re-ride. CRAZY!

Even though Ethan had his own seat, he preferred to sit on Gary's lap the majority of the time. They played the song YMCA at one point though and he REALLY got into it. I should have taken a video clip. He had all the people around us laughing.

Tom is not a big smiler in pictures lately but he had a great time. He didn't mind wearing his bandanna at all. Definitely tough enough to wear pink!

Logan and his funny faces. With his long hair, his hat had a hard time staying on. It was too funny. He didn't want anything to do with pink until about half way through when he saw how many cowboys were wearing pink shirts and then he wanted me to tie his bandanna on.

Ethan and I are just chilling out towards the end of the night. I needed to get a picture of him in his outfit before we left. Wranglers, shiny black boots and a cowboy hat made that kid look like he belonged on a ranch somewhere.
