San Angelo Rodeo 2009

YEEEEHAW!!!!! The San Angelo Rodeo! We heard great things about it, but sometimes people talk things up a little to much here. When some of our friends invited us to go with them we thought it would be really fun for Briley. We all put on what little county western wear we had; (for me that was jeans and flip-flops) and headed out to the fairgrounds.

Ready to go in Briley's fishing hat.

We started off at the petting zoo. These were baby kangaroo's, wallabee's and wallaroo's. They even had an albino kangaroo. We didn't get good pictures of them or the monkeys, but they were really cute.

This was in the petting zoo area. Briley loved the goats, sheep, calfs, and even a camel.


I didn't post a picture but they had a goat actually giving birth while we were ther. Her water had broken an hour before and she was having contractions (very similar to humans), but it was taking to long so we left before the delivery. It made me sad but Brian and Briley didn't really care to see it.

After the petting zoo we went to the carnival for some awesome funnel cakes. We didn't ride any rides because it was kind of pricey and Briley only cared about looking at the lights.

Briley watching one of his friends riding the carousel. This picture makes me sad because it looks like he really wanted to ride it. Maybe next time.

Briley loved the actual rodeo. There was so much going on between the bull and bronco riding and all of the horse tricks. They even had that little monkey that rides on the sheep dog to heard the sheep. It was hilarious and he even wore a cowboy hat and boots.

He was so happy and striked a really cute pose.

This is a video I took because he kept flapping his arms when everyone was clapping.
We had such a great time and all of the good things people said about the rodeo were true. We will definitely be back next year hopefully with some little cowboy boots and cowboy hat.
