Ole "Crusher" at the rodeo

So, we decided to take the kids to see "Ole Crusher" in action at the rodeo. Good thing we went, because he gave us a behind the scene personal tour.....
Garry and Cindy (she and her husband are the main ones in charge of the rodeo and provide a lot of their own stock for the rodeo) talking and working at the chutes.


When I snuck up to the chutes to take Garry's picture, I saw long curly blonde hair from the back. I was wondering to myself, who this young thing was and why Garry was engaged in such deep conversation...then she turned around and I saw that it was Cindy. Wow she looks great from behind...not many people do. :) Glad to know it was Cindy and not some young thing!! Kylie was unsure if she really wanted a picture of this "rodeo clown".


This was taken right after he gave us a tour of the stock, the cowboy trailer (where they go to grab their gear), and luckily only Nate saw the half naked cowboy changing off to the side of us. I guess he didn't expect a family with kids to go walking by. Come to think of it...wasn't it a Thursday...dang it! We should have joined in too! :)

By the way, I got a kick out of your Lighthouse comment on Angie's blog. I totally forgot Cedar has BOTH a lighthouse and a beach...even though the Lighthouse is about 500 feet elevation below the beach. Good stuff...

Check out Ole Crusher! I'm so glad you posted pictures of that. How fun! Although, the picture of Kylie's face with the rodeo clown just might be my favorite in this post. Too cute :-)
