July 1, 2010...Melissa, Jessica, and I enjoying the Oakley Rodeo! I rode up with Kaylee, her sister Sara, and John and met Melissa, Jenna, and Ryan in Oakley. I even bought the sweet cowgirl hat at Target before we left. I needed to fit the scene, plus I've always wanted to have one.I always wince when they rope the calves around the necks and throw them to the ground, I guess I just have a soft heart for them! We had a great time cheering on the barrel racers, bull riders, etc.
Roping the calf, poor little guys!
Now that is one big, mean looking bull!
Afterwards they celebrated with fireworks! I tried out the "fireworks" setting on my camera and was impressed, it didn't turn out too bad! :)
You were in my territory. I grew up in that area, although I do have to say that I've only been to the Oakley rodeo three or four times in my life.
ReplyDeleteAlicia,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! We went to a rodeo yesterday too in Panguitch. Fun time of year for rodeos! I am jealous that you and Jessica got to hang out. I miss you both!!
