Pictures-Last Summer Rodeo

Yesterday was Jacob's last summer rodeo. You can click on these pictures to see a bigger image a little bit better. Above is Jacob riding......he didn't make it 8 seconds but he got away safely! The bull was round and fat, making it hard for him to wrap his legs tightly.
2nd picture is Cody....he did pretty good too, not 8 seconds...but once again, was safe.

Above is Jacob helping Cody get ready....it's the neatest thing to see how these guys form a tight bond and are there for each other at every moment.


And we can't forget how important the bull fighters are....they put their lives on the line for all the cowboys....they are amazing to watch too.



Here is stunt cowgirl we saw her perform twice this summer....here she is doing "Dead Man Drag" laying limp sideways on her amazing horse.

This beautiful cowgirl hales outa Bloomington Illinois!!!




It's always fun to watch the cowboys practicing their bull riding moves beforehand...
We had a great time again......amazing weather...so cool we needed our sweatshirts.
By last night I had horrible "bleacher butt" after the races and the rodeo 2 days in a row....
SO even though it was a busy weekend.....it was a great time!

Girl, you're amazing...I don't know if I could sit & watch my brother riding bulls =) I watched my oldest brother once drive in the Fairbury races & he was side swiped and the car rolled! I thought I was going to pee my pants...lol. Your brother's amazing! It takes a special kind of guy to do that!!!!
