rodeo time!

guess what we didddd! we went to the rodeo on saturday! i have been wanting to attend one all summer, and we finally got the chance. our roommate (yeah...we took in a roommate) informed us about the Poway Rodeo and we all decided to go. more good news: we looked online and (thought) we read that it started at 6 but turns out it opened and 6 and started and opened are apparently two very different things. so anyway, we got there at ten to six and got really awesome parking spots! 

the rodeo queens were handing out the cutest little cowboy candies at the gate. see, if we would have gotten there later the candy would have been gone.  

 look how empty it was. we really thought that people just weren't interested in coming. the real deal was that the rodeo started at 7:30. that gave us an hour and a half to walk around....eat....look at the schedule...get some good seats....talk....etc. 

 when it started though, it was just as good as i thought it would be! except the parts when they abused adorable baby cows. i was expecting it...but not expecting it. one of the saddest things i've seen. steer wrestling and tie down roping...i was very happy for the steers that made it out without getting roped! when everyone was booing, i was cheering! you go little tiny cows! 

 the drill team was fun to watch! i knew i would like it because i loved watching amanda and her drill team so much. it was basically the same with the make up and the bedazzled outfits, these girls were just on horses. 

 my favorite part of the whole night was barrel racing. roomie told us that barrel racing was just for girls. that obviously made me like it more. it was so cool to watch! some of the girls were really, really good. they made it look so easy. some where going so fast that they and their horse disappeared. 

this was the only photo i got of the two of us. 

it was such a fun night!
