I love Garth Brooks and I love a good rodeo. One of our favorite rodeos is the Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove. They put on a great show. Rodeos are definitely not concerned with being politically correct. Liberals and PETA must hate rodeos. Maybe that's why I love them.

Jalen and Asher decided to do the cash cow.
They were pretty bugged to miss out on the big money.
Bareback riding.
Steer wrestling. (I liked it better when they called it bull dogging.)
Team roping.
Saddle bronc riding.
Calf roping.
Barrel racing.
Bull riding is always an exciting event. There's always such an element of danger.
These clowns really protect the cowboys.
Jalen's favorite part was the motorcycle stuntmen. (I could have skipped that part all together.)
Upside down.
I think rodeos remind me of a way of life that has faded and is at risk of being lost all together. My dad grew up on a ranch and I grew up surrounded by horses and cattle. I think it's sad that my kids don't get to experience that the way I did. I'm proud of the fact that one family of my cousins still support themselves as cowboys.
