The rodeo

When I was younger my father took the whole family to a local rodeo one hot summer’s afternoon.  I’ve always been fascinated with everything rodeo – from the trick riding to the roping to the bronc-busting and bull riding!  I loved watching the rodeo clowns do their work, too.  Those rodeo clowns work hard to help make sure that everyone is as safe as possible – and they are grossly under-appreciated (in my opinion, anyway!) 

I’ve never tried my hand at roping anything, although I’ve always thought it would be really great to learn how to rope.  I just never even knew of a place to go to learn how to rope!  My own attempts to self-teach were totally laughable!  Phil called me the other day and told me that he was given four  Houston Rodeo concert tickets and asked us if we’d like to join him and Angela on a short little vacation trip to the rodeo!  I sure would love to go, but we need to find out if we can get the time off of work before we say yes.  It sure sounds like a wonderful trip!

Knowing how much my wife loves horses, I would be really surprised if she said she didn’t want to go.  I hope she can get the time off from work!
