Two weeks ago Grandma Lou took the whole Owen Clan to the Preston Rodeo!
Good thing Ben & Alyssa brought a plastic drop cloth to the rodeo because the rain poured down on us making it a very memorable night.
Bull Riding! Crazy!
The little boy that happened to get hit in the knee by a horseshoe that fell off and came flying through the air into the audience. The clown came up and talked to him and let him keep the horseshoe as a souvenier. I don't know how lucky of a horseshoe that one is. :)
The clown was the highlight of the rodeo, so very funny! This is when he brought out his little dog that did tricks for us!
The whole night the clown made fun of the judges; it was hilarious. Everytime the judge had to run over to tell a score the clown would start inspirational running music and tell him that he would lose his weight if he kept it up. He also asked the audience to raise money for another judge because he didn't have enough money to finish painting his horse, and it was a paint horse.My most favorite event of the rodeo is the mutton bustin' - I don't even know if that is how you spell it, but I love watching the little kids hang onto the sheep. The clown said that you can't beat your children but you can strap them onto a sheep. But, he thinks that if a parent makes their child ride a sheep, the parent should have to ride a bull. The funny thing about the sheep is in order to get the child off their back, they start running and then flop into a roll right over top the child... pretty effective!
