Western Stampede Rodeo--West Jordan

Saturday night, I found myself at a rodeo. It's not usually my standard weekend activity, in fact I probably only frequent a rodeo once every 5 years. In this case, both of my sisters were singing the National Anthem, so I went to support them. They did a fantastic job! Check them out:

We had the whole family there, so we stayed for the rodeo afterward. I wonder if this guy needs a chiropractor:

We can't take my cute mom anywhere. My sister thinks we should burn that hat. I want to burn that vest. But are you allowed to burn things that have a flag on them, or is that disrespectful?



God bless America



I always enjoy the barrel races, they seem the most humane.

My favorite part of the rodeo was the Mutton Bustin'. I had no idea what this was until a few years ago, when I worked at a health clinic in Tooele.

A little 4-or-5-year-old girl came in with a broken arm. I asked her how she broke it and she replied in a sweet little voice, "Mutton Bustin."

I was baffled as to what this was, and even more baffled once I knew it involved tiny children riding on the back of sheep.



Hold on for dear life!



Overall, we had a good time together as a family. Guess I won't be attending a rodeo for another 5 years.
