So I experienced my 1st Texas Rodeo last night! Blake and I heard on the radio the other day that 2011's first rodeo was taking place this weekend in Odessa and we thought it would be fun and different so we called and bought tickets (our tickets were supposed to cover a free concert by Casey Donahue after the rodeo but when we got there they told us our particular tickets didn't cover the concert,boo.) I figured we would be a little out of place but we were A LOT out of place!! We had no bedazzeled or bejeweled anything, no Ed Hardy or Affliction and no cowboy hats or belt buckles but we still had fun. Below are some photos we took; some aren't that great but enjoy!!

I know nothing about Rodeo's but there were a few famous people there last night (or so I was told!) The NFR in Vegas is like the Olympics for cowboys and some of the guys last night have qualified for the NFR multiple times. I will say even though I know nothing about what happened last night, some of the cowboys were pretty impressive!!
Until our next adventure...
