Yee-Haw

I must be part cow-girl because I just love anything country, especially rodeos. Since we had the Littles in town from Washington I thought it was fitting that we take them to a rodeo to give them a true Idaho experience. Also, since none of my siblings remember ever going to the rodeo, it was a first for everyone.

My cute cow-girl!!!

Two cute cow girls ready to say YEE-HAW

One of my favorite parts of the rodeo is Mutton Bustin. This Little League rodeo event is where the kids ride the sheep for as long as they can hang on. There were many youngsters that held on across the arena until there sheep crashed into the herd

Adam's favorite event of the night was the horses riding in the dark. Supposedly, this group performed in the Olympics. The horses all got decked out in strands of lights and put on quite the performance in the dark

Rope those cattle boys

After the rodeo we packed up and headed over to try out 5 Guys Burgers and Fries before heading down to the Twilight Criterium; which is a bike race that runs through downtown Boise

We found some silly monkeys at the restaurant

and then one more silly gangster monkey

Here is the gang ready for the bike race to begin

We survived the 105 degree heat this night. We found a nice shady spot on one of the corners turns, so when the bikers would come around we got a nice breeze; this was approximately every minute and a half.

The kids had a great time cheering on the bikers with all of their noise makers. It was Kristin Armstrong's last ride in the Boise Criterium so the entire time the kids were cheering "Go Kristin!" I hope she enjoyed her little fans who pushed her to victory once again.
