Wild West Raleigh (with snow)


There is a NationalBullRidersAssocFinals being held at the NCState Horse Complex this weekend. We outfitted the boys and headed on down to see some REAL cowboys do their thang. You definitely have to experience bullriding in person to truly appreciate the intensity. 8 seconds IS an eternity. There was barrell racering too - power and agility rolled into one. The boys LOVED every minute. When the flag riders came out to open the events - Blake literally leapt off my lap and ran in the direction of the horses screeching and pointing, beside himself with amazement. He raced around "talking" and pointing to anyone and everyone as if to say, "Did you see that?!? DID YOU SEE THAT??!!?" Insert magical parental moment here. Man we had fun - check out the slide show for details. When we left around 9:30 we were greeted by snow falling and about an inch on the ground - felt like Wyoming for a minute.
