Last week, I went to my very first rodeo -- and it was a blast! If you're not from Omaha, you wouldn't know that the Douglas County Fair was last weekend. Part of the fair is a three-night Pro-Rodeo event called River City Roundup. We got to watch some awesome barrel racers and some mutton bustin', too. Now, for those of you who have never seen mutton bustin' -- that's too bad because it is HILARIOUS! These cute little kids get all padded up and ride a sheep around the arena for as long as possible. Sometimes, the sheep go crazy and take off at lightning speed...and the kid gets a helmut full of dirt. Either way, it's hysterical. I laughed so hard I literally cried. Priceless.
Anyway, it was great fun and I wish I could upload some video from my phone but it's not working. But I did get some cool stills off my phone...
The atmosphere (or at least the smell of it) was a small reminder of my small town roots. I'm so glad we got to go....after 10 years in Omaha, it was about time!
