it's the white in the knuckles, the gold in the buckle...it's the boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats. it's spurs and latigo. it's ropes and the reigns. and the joy and the pain. and they call the thing rodeo. "
last night i doubled with some friends to the ute stampede. it was so fun to be back there. it had been about 3 years since i had been down to the stampede and it was just like i remembered- just no rodeo burger this year. some fun things:
1. the town of nephi has the funniest lounge/bar this side of the mississsppi. not that i have been to many, but wow...when you don't drink- you chat and watch. oh the things i saw especially with that post rodeo crowd..
2. small town utah girls have the biggest hair and most intense makeup that i have ever seen.
3. there were so many cute little kids there. i saw a baby in chaps and spurs and i wanted to take her.
4. the carnival games and rides never change.
and men will never stop needing to prove themselves to other men.
and while some men had to win prizes for their dates, i would just like to announce that not only did i win my own prize- i beat EVERYONE.
but i will admit, i have always been a sucker for a country boy.
