When we are lucky, Pioneer Day falls on the same weekend as the Rebellion.
We were lucky this year!
The parade is pretty cool.. lots of horses and trucks, and CANDY.
Once the parade had gone down and back Main Street, we headed to the rodeo. This is a cultural experience for us east coasters.. and quite exciting (once we got over the right-wing commentary, and what the rodeo does to the animals).
(notice the leg in the air behind the horse.. great pic, maybe not too great for the rider!)
One of the events was to have all of the kids under 8 years old come into the corral and try to get the yellow ribbons off of the calves' tails. Jaffa and Eben opted out. But lots of kids and poor calves! All was going well until a few of the big steers (and their big horns) wandered into the corral too.. yikes!! Thankfully a couple of the fathers took no time jumping in and herding those steers back to the pen. Not really an instinct that Zeric and I had.. but all ended well!
