It’s official. Summer is over. Amy went back to school today, and to keep my mind off of missing her, I thought I’d finally get the pictures from the busy rodeo weekend posted.
There are lots of photos here, so if you want, go grab a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
The royal rodeo court in their bright white outfits. A nice contrast to all of the denim and dust.
What the well dressed sheep is wearing this year.
Only in a western town like Ellensburg-chimneys that look like saddles!
The dog show. I loved them all.
When in Rome…
This horse was waiting patiently for his rider to show up during slack-the competition to choose the finalists who get to compete in the actual rodeo. I wonder if he was watching the other horses and riders and taking mental notes?
At first I was amused by this cowboy talking on his phone while riding, and then I noticed the anchor brand on his horse! Very Snapshot Sailors!
This boy managed to stay on for the entire ride. More than I can say for some of the adults who gave it a try.
Every one of these roses was gorgeous, and the scent was heavenly, too!
I had to do a double take on the zebra sheep ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time!
Ooooh I LoVe the Ellensburg Rodeo!!! We missed it this year .. too many irons in the fire. Thanks for the virtual tour! My momma was a rodeo queen & barrel raced .. her brother was a clown for bull riders & rode the pro circuit .. it's in my blood ... ♥
ReplyDeleteis it fall there yet .. we are starting to have the crisp in the air ... I love it!
Lisa-this is the first year I've seen those sheep coats! There were some pretty wild ones:)
ReplyDeleteLisa-Yesterday, I spied a few leaves that had turned already, and I was filled with excitement because I love fall too!
What wonderful stories your momma and uncle must tell! My mother dated a bull rider-she said he was nice but a little loopy too! I guess he'd been thrown off a few times too many!
Maybe next year we can meet up at the rodeo:)
What fun this would be. If only we had such cultured events in our parts. If there is anchor to be seen I'm sure you will see it Valerie:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what outfit I would wear to this event...
