TheBanyanTree: You can't bury a cow here

[Theta Brentnall]

We went to a rodeo last Sunday in the little down just down the road 
from the place we were camping. Great fun and I'll be putting up 
pictures on my blog soon, but we also came away with a new family saying:

"Put on your big girl pants and ride."

It was advice given to the rodeo queen and her court (all 6th and 7th 
graders) by their mentor, and they obviously took it to heart because 
all of them used it in their biographical write-ups.

A lot of the riders needed to have a pair of big girl pants.  The score was:
bareback broncs - 4, riders - 1
saddle broncs - 6, riders - 1
bulls - 8, riders -2 (but one of them hopped out of the arena on one leg)
in steer wrestling, steers 8, wrestlers 2  Some of those steers have 
been to one too many rodeos:  They knew if they kept running that they 
were going to get thrown down, so they just slammed on the brakes right 
outside the chute and the rider and his hazer blew right on by them.

It was such a fun rodeo!
