Ranch Rodeo

We went to the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Ranch Rodeo in OKC last weekend. It was a blast. The girls thought that it was pretty cool. Here are a few of the events.

 These were the horses warming up before the rodeo started.

 Reese waiting for fun to begin.

 Riley waiting...in her usual "mood".

 This horse and next were the prettiest I thought. They might not have been worth a hoot, but they sure were pretty.

 Team Doctoring

 Wild Cow Milking.

 This is Malboro Man. For any of you Pioneer Woman followers you know what I'm talking about.

 This was the SugarLoaf Ranch. They are from our neck of the woods, more BJ's but I claimed them too. The Ely and the Pogue families were on this team.

 This was the girl's favorite event by far. They thought it was hilarious to see them get dragged around by that cow. Most of these cows were like, "I don't think so buddy!"

 Almost every cow would break free at some point and run back to the chutes out of the arena. The ring guys would have to run her back out, which just made her madder and a little bit funner to watch.

This is Pioneer Woman. Remember Marlboro man, this is his wife. Yes, I did take her picture from afar. She was sitting directly across the ring from us. I wanted so bad to go say Hi, but the entire night someone not from her party would come by about every 5 minutes for an autograph or to say hi. I thought she's been bothered enough. My telephoto lens will just have to be good enough. I know it sounds a little staulkery, but it's just because I believe we are kindred spirits when it comes to butter and our love of sweets. 

Anyways, we had a great time. We finally had to leave about 10pm. The girls were starting to mutiny from lack of sleep, since we had been up since 5:30 AM. We didn't get to see the end, but I found out later that Drummond Ranch won. Which is Marlboro Man and Pioneer Woman's ranch, so Go Team!
