Rodeo
yeehaw!
We spent three nights getting our cowboy (and cowgirl) on at the rodeo and enjoying hours of shopping and just downright fun. Bob and Wendy were the ultimate hosts. The only downside was the time went way too fast.
Let the show begin!
There's just a few horses there:
Can you believe they pack 18,000 people a night in here? They really keep the cowboy experience alive each night as all 18,000 are herded like cattle to the exits. I really had to restrain myself from not letting out a loud MOOOOO as we slowly shuffled out. It's pretty entertaining, though, considering the gargantuan amount of alcohol that is consumed. But hey, thank goodness the rodeo starts out with an opening prayer!
Did you know "selfie" is an actual word?
There is nothing quite like the old stretch-out-your-arm-and-hope-for-the-best pose.
We love you Bob and Wendy! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you......
Perhaps one of the highlights of the trip was this baby right here on the right hand side:
THE TUB. Complete with jets. And no interruptions by sweet little well-meaning individuals known as my children.
Heaven.
I soaked in this baby each and every morning. Not sure why they even bother with a shower in there. Please.
I may or may not have spent my time in the tub singing Christmas songs as the jets bubbled. Hope the hallways were empty....
A HUGE thank you to Mom and Dad Otte who drove through a horrific storm and brutal cold to come down and take care of the kiddos so we could get away. We were so grateful to them! They probably went home tired, but have some fun memories:
What a great guy, huh?
And sorry Mom, dad trumps you on the pics this time.
We were delayed a bit coming home (ah, darn) because the gorge was closed due to a crazy snowstorm. It was weird coming through St. George- it was COLD and covered in snow. But, we made it home to happy and healthy kids. Absence sure makes the heart grow fonder. :)
