Rodeo Time

We went to the Wild Weippe Rodeo this past weekend. You had a great time of course. Rodeo is your favorite thing in the world right now. We started Saturday off by entering in the parade. Uncle RJ dressed as a rodeo clown and you dressed as the bull rider. Uncle RJ pulled you in the wagon decorated with signs that said Future Weippe bullrider and rodeo clown then on the sides one said Bullrider Braden Jared and the other side said Rodeo Clown RJ Chandler. You waved and threw candy through the whole thing even after sitting in the line up for over an hour. I was so proud of you. You guys looked so good. You won a purple ribbon for childrens catagory winner. You dressed in your PBR vest and chaps and wore your rope up boots and hat. After the parade we went to the rodeo, you loved watching Eddy the rodeo clown, you were constantly asking about his barrel. Your dad took you over to meet Eddy and you were scarred to death of him. I couldnt talk you into riding a stick horse even though you said that you wanted to right before it started. You enjoyed watching the bull riding the most.

Sunday we went to rodeo and it poured down rain the entire time. You were still really into watching Eddy. Eddy came right up by us and you were scarred of him again. When it came time for Steer riding you started to cry because I told you that you couldnt go ride one and you really wanted to. I know though that as soon as I took you over there you would of been to scarred to even look at them. (you have to be at least 11 to ride one anyways). I took you over to look at Eddys barrel later on and you really like it, you wanted to get in it but I wouldnt let you!

Today when you were napping you must of been dreaming about bullriding because you said I want to ride a little bull mom, not a big one. You were sound asleep, it was really funny. When you woke up I asked you if you were dreaming about bullriding and you said yes.

Sometimes I wonder if you really will grow up to be a cowboy or if this is just a phase that will pass. Bull riding scares the hell outta me. I really hope that you do get over this obsession of yours.
