We took the family out to Texas Stampede's Stick Horse Rodeo this past Saturday.
The kids had a great time. Only Sophie was able to participate in the Mutton Bustin' because Rhys did not meet the age requirement. Next year, he may exceed the weight limit. For those who may not know how we get our kicks in Texas, we put our innocent children on sheep and shoot them out of the gate. Great entertainment for the adults!
Anyhow, the Mutton Bustin' was over in a flash! There is even a 5 second video to prove it!

| Sophie doing her best to hold back the tears |
Sophie got her elbow lightly scratched up, making up one teary-eyed girl. But she held it together while the event finished out and then...drum roll please...She was announced the winner! She stayed on the longest believe it or not (under 2 seconds probably). She was thrilled to receive a trophy and ribbon!
After the Mutton Bustin' Sophie and Rhys both participated in the Stick Horse Rodeo.
Unfortunately, they were chosen to compete against each other in the calf roping event. With a bit of help, Rhys ran to the dummy calf, slipped the hula hoop over it's head, and raced back.
Sophie, following her brother's model, accomplished the task a bit faster, winning yet another trophy and ribbon, which she kindly shared with her little brother.
They were very happy to have had such a good time. After a visit to the petting zoo and a free slurpee sample from 7-Eleven we were on our way home to scrub off the dirt and sheep poo.
