Our first ever rodeo! This week we were blessed to be able to attend the San Antonio Stock and Rodeo Show, a first for all of us. What an eye opener to a part of our American western culture. We saw an huge amount of livestock: so many different types of cows and bulls and sheep and pigs and horses and more…We sure do wish cousins Ralph and Colleen from NV were there to explain some of what we were seeing. They have their own livestock on their property and would have known some of the different breeds of cattle I’m sure
.
We also saw Bareback Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Tie-Down Roping, Calf Scramble, Team Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Barrel Racing & Bullriding! Please don’t ask me to explain them. They were just very fun and exciting to watch. Then to top it off, we attended the rodeo’s first ever christian concert with Tobymac and Jeremy Camp kicking off their Boomin beyond Measure Tour. I think we embarrassed the kids by knowing the words to almost all of the songs. Of course we sang along! All in all it was a great experience to be a part of.
