PBR

Ok, so you wouldn't guess that Ryan and I went to the PBR event here in Anaheim. We didn't even know what the PBR was until after we went... We are always up for something new, so we went to the Professional Bull Riding event! It was fabulous! One of my favorite parts was the opening event. They had a huge, I mean HUGE, bull head on the gates where the riders come out. As they announced each rider the huge bulls' eyes lite up RED and fire came rushing out of their mouths and nostrils followed by steam! It was so fun and funny! I loved it!



We watched 40 riders do their best to stay on the bull for 8 seconds! (8 seconds never seemed so long)! We learned a lot that night about the PBR. We learned that the bulls and the riders both get scores. We learned that bulls actually do paw at the ground and charge at people. Well, I already knew that, but Ryan thought the bulls only did that in cartoons! We learned that a really, I mean REALLY, fat man can hold a hot dog (plus the bun) in his mouth like a cigarette... Wish we had a picture of that...
We had a blast, and we enjoyed it so much we had to watch the second round the next night on TV to see who won! If you ever get a chance to go see bull riding, do it! It was really fun!

Who'd have thought that So. Cal girls would love bull riding as much as they do? Go figure! I have been to several rodeos since I've been in Utah and I LOVE THEM. I get all excited as summer approaches and all the towns around have their ". . . (fill in the blank with the city name) Days", including multiple nights of rodeo. Love it!
