Day 4 (June 30, 2006) Today was a quiet day spent at home until about 6. Dwayn then decided we needed a Mexican dinner to fortify ourselves for the big rodeo tonight. That accomplished, off to the rodeo! Have to admit that the rodeo was a disappointment, in all the timed events only one rider completed the circuit and that was in the barrel racing. We did have a good time though and were sitting just above the chutes. Several young kids (under 12) competed in the calf riding contest and they ended up taking some rough falls. There was a little guy there no older than 3, dressed full cowboy including spurs and a huge belt buckle. The rodeo ended with the bull riding and on a sad note as the last rider was thrown then tromped on by the bull. They had medical help there quickly and the stretcher but like a good cowboy he insisted on leaving the arena upright. He was supported by 2 medical personnel and was totally unable to use his left leg, which I think was broken at the ankle. Posted by Picasa
