Saturday night, some of us went to the King's Trail Cowboy Church's Ranch Rodeo! I think I've been to three rodeos in my life, so this isn't something we do a lot, but it was certainly fun! :)
It's great going places with my family!

The cowboys enter the arena...
Some gorgeous horses there!
Most of this rodeo was team competition, four cowboys to a team.
Kids brought in the flags...
Hats off for the US flag
The first order of business was "Mutton Busting!" ;) Little kids on sheep... adorable!
And when you fall off (the 2 feet or so) --
-- the clowns are there to pick you up!
The contestants
The first group of cowboys -- from Owens Sand & Gravel
"Branding." The steer has been roped -- now the other cowboys will leap off their horses --
-- run to the steer --
-- and wrestle him down (or at least try to!)! :)
They're off!
This steer's giving them a battle...
Competing with a grin
Part 2 to come!
I really like that one with the gray and the palomino... ;-)
