July 24th!

For the 24Th I did what my family and I do every year. My hometown, Wallsburg, does their own fun 24Th celebration. The whole town which is maybe 200 people, get together and have a parade, talent show, games, and an armature rodeo. My friend Brady has his own rough stock company and provided us with the bulls. The Wallsburg rodeo arena is a little bit smaller and the fences are NOT made for bulls haha. We need panel fences and panels that are about 2 feet taller then the fences that we currently have. During the whole rodeo I was running the shoots. Helping out with the rough stock. We were all having a good time with the calves and steers but the bulls... The bulls barely fit in the shoots. Brady got the 2 pick up men just where he wanted them cause he was thinking and knew that if the bull wanted he could easily run right out of the arena and he didn't want it running straight into everyone. So the 2 pick up men sat on their horses on the side of the arena where all the bleachers were. Well first cowboy hops on the bull, nods his head, and on with his ride. Cowboy came off the bull and next thing you know... just like a cartoon, that bull was straight out through the fence and into the crowd. As our pick up men and other locals on horses went after the bull, it headed out through the fields and up into the foot hills with the flank strap still on it. Bull #2... hmm... escaped just the same. Brady called off the bulls. He didn't' want his bulls running all over Wallsburg. We caught one of them but the other was still roaming all over Wallsburg until last night. Well after the Wallsburg rodeo, Mike, Brady, and I headed to the Spanish Fork Rodeo. The Rodeo was a lot of fun! I love Rodeo's! When the bull riding came up for the rodeo they announced that our World Champ 2 years ago was riding and bla bla bla... well world champ got on and came right off. Mike was being funny and said, "Well Ladies and Gentlemen, there is your world champion right there in the dirt." hahaha! I was laughing so hard and right then the lady behind us sat up and said, "You better watch it! That is my son!" hahah! Yup his mom was sitting right behind us. We laughed so hard. I love hicks but ignorant hicks cant take critisism! It was pretty funny! As the fireworks started we ran over to Brady's feeding lot to feed all of his rough stock when some horses got out! HELL! We caught them and had a ball feeding. After we went to the park in Payson! haha where these 2 retards got their butts stuck in the little kids swings and their butts soaking wet for the slides! Brady the whole time was reminiscing about elementary school. We had a ball! They are good ol cowboys! Full on cowboys without the drinking, smoking, and chewing. They go to church but as every cowboy does... they have a bit of a swearing problem haha but they are good guys! It was so fun!

Here is Brady's skinny cowboy butt stuck in the swing!
The 2 dumb butts both stuck and swinging! haha You should have seen them when they came out of the swings! lol They about ate it!
