Calling all Cowboys and Cowgirls! (and readers of this blog)

Well last night we got to see a really cool thing. Show, actually. We got to see the Cody Nite Rodeo. (No, I didn't spell that wrong.) None of us had seen a rodeo before so it was especially fun. Now I will tell you the different events that they had.

The first thing was calf roping. Well, actually there were three different kinds. The first was called Tie-down Roping. There they would have to catch a calf using a lasso and then tie it's feet together so it can't move. The second kind is like Tie-down Roping, except it is called Break-away Roping. Some idea except that they only had to catch it and then let go of the rope. The third kind is called Double Muggin'. There are two people. One races and catches the calf and the other then tries to pull it to the ground. Then the first person ties the calf's legs together. Here are some pics.

Also, there was barrel racing. There the riders ride around three barrels and try to get the best time. Here is a pretty good picture.

They also had some clowns that told jokes. They were pretty funny. Another event that they had was bronc riding. The cowboys would try to stay on a bucking horse for seven seconds. I know, that doesn't sound like long, but it is. Here is a picture.

Well I had fun on this ongoing Awesome Adventure with Abigail and I hope you did too!
