i want a cowboy.

I was sitting at work yesterday nearing the end of my shift when I hear my fellow co-workers talking about going to a rodeo. It peaked my interest so I googled Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days and a whole list of festivities came up that have been going on all week. And the rodeo was tonight starting at 8. I was so excited because I get off at 7 and that would leave just enough time to get home change and head out. Then I had to decide who to go with and thought immediately of my grandpa. He loves rodeos. So that was it. I had made up my mind. I would take gramps with me as an early father's day gift! I bought the tickets online and printed them off so when I got home I gave him the tickets and told him to get ready to go!

Once we arrived on the rodeo grounds, grandpa looked around and told me exactly which section we should sit in to be close to the action. He is an experienced rodeo go-er. There was so much plaid all around and boys in cowboy hats and boots. Of course, I was sporting pink plaid and my cute boots too.




Me and Grandpa
my camera's battery died, soall i had to take pictures with was my phone.

 
There was so much excitement at the rodeo. I wish I could go to more. Plus, I realized--i want a cowboy. and lets just say, a rodeo is the perfect hunting ground for them! Seriously, some cute country boys!

A lot of the competitors wore pink for the tough enough to wear pink campaign to raise money for Susan G. Komen Foundation for cancer patients.



Grandpa's favorite event--these are the momma and babies bred for bucking.
They let them run free around the arena a few times. The colts were so cute!


One sad part is that around 10pm, Grandpa was ready to go. He said "we've only got the bull riding and the fireworks left lets get outta here. Plus those kids will just get bucked of anyways.." so we left.
And I was sad. That's like the main event and I was so looking forward to it. And the fireworks would have been sweet to see too! Now, I guess I'll just have to go to another rodeo.. and maybe it will be with a cute cowboy as my date.
