N F R - National Finals Rodeo!

A big Rodeo. What a production! Vegas is a BIG town. There is a lot going on all the time there. What fun it was to be there though. We took my grandpa - an 86 yr old Cowboy. He had a ball. It was mostly for him that we went as I am learning we need to take these opportunities while they exist. Sometimes life doesn't give second chances. And it sure doesn't last as long and full as I think it should sometimes.  So what fun to take Grandpa and my son to see the Best of the Best in Rodeo. The town is hopping but we really had a ton of fun even if we are definitely not city dwellers! But the fun part is that the majority of the people we were sharing space with are country people as well and so we really had a fun time with everything.  Grandpa tires easy and so we kept a very low key schedule. Went to the rodeo on Sunday afternoon and totally enjoyed it! Cream of the crop cowboys! Incredible show! No wasted time at this rodeo! There was no stopping for any wasted time.  The only time there was any stopping from RODEO was when there were paramedics in the arena.  Then it was very neat - the announcer asked us to pray. No bones about it, but just pray, for the cowboy, the paramedics, the rodeo family. 
No boring explanations about the rodeo and minimal time talking by the announcers although they were good announcers. Pure Rodeo! It was fun! While with everything else that is going on this fall it made for a tight fall, I am glad we went. Life is short so enjoy the ride!
