Ute Stampede 2009

After we bought our box seat we totally could not wait for the rodeo. We must have went down there a million times before the stock even showed up! The kids ended up going all three nights this year and we made the most of it and let them stay at the Carni every night. I thought the rodeo was good watching especially since the Wild Child was back. Cael is still acting like the wild child on his bike! The only down side was that Julio Moreno wasn't there with his stock, so we didn't get to see Troubadour, Charlie Bullware, or Big Mike (luckily I got pics last year!)Since it was the 75Th anniversary they had all the past queens there on Friday and they also honored Ina Morgan for being the only person who has been to every single Friday night rodeo for 75 years! Eric & Jen have came with us to the stampede for 9 years! They are the best friends and we love having that tradition with them! Saturday night there was a lot of excitement during the rodeo especially when Cotton was knocked off his horse and from our angle he looked dead! Luckily he was able to walk out and all was Ok! Also Jerry Shepherd the home town boy won the bull riding. After the rodeo I got to visit with a lot of friends that I only see once a year! Casey bought his traditional fifteen bags of cotton candy, Carmel apples, and a funnel cake! We always eat way too much and end up sick, but hey that rodeo!
