Bull Rides

Another thing checked off our summer bucket list.....a rodeo!
 having some popcorn
 Lance gives the kids bull rides quite often at our house.  They even use a riggin (scarf).  They put their hand in the air and nod their head when they're ready.  So, when the bull riding started, Mara put her hand in the air and nodded!  It was pretty funny.
 Can you spot Mara?  She was one brave little girl!  They let the kids out in the arena to chase 2 calves.  The calves had stickers on them, and the kids were supposed to try and pull them off.  This was a bit dangerous because there were so many kids and pretty large calves, but she was given strict orders to hold her friend's hand (the older girl in the blue).  Of course she didn't come close to a calf, but she sure had fun!
Micah wanted nothing to do with the bull, and Mara walked right up to it and grabbed the ring in its nose!  Oh my.  Sometimes she's too brave for this momma.  Of course the clown quickly explained that she shouldn't grab his ring.  She didn't even think twice about hopping up on this big guy!  The night was cut a bit short with a storm, but we dashed to the car and made it before the downpour started.  The kids were disappointed we missed the fireworks, but we got to watch a few out the window.
