Livermore Rodeo

So, yes, I've been behind in blogs.  There's lots to catch up on, as Stacy and I took a vacation to Napa Valley for our 5 yr anniversary!  Mom came to take care of Shelby.  

Here's the Livermore Rodeo weekend.  It started with a parade.  Shelby had fun watching the flags and listening to the bands.

The moo cows were funny.

And he liked the cool military vehicles.

I love the little downtown fountain area.Livermore Rodeo is pegged to be the Fastest Rodeo in the world.  They weren't kidding.  By the time Shelby got up from his nap and we got there, it was over a few hours later.  What rodeo ends at 5pm?  We had a great time, and cheered for the bull rider from San Angelo, Tx.

Shelby was funny.  In between riders they'd play music and about the time he got to jammin' the rider would come out and the music would stop.  He got so mad he yelled in the general direction of the press box, "Hey!  I wanna dance!"

We stood in line forever and Shelby picked out the one horse he wanted to ride so we had to await that horse's availability.  He was so excited, but when he got on top of it, he freaked out.After a few rounds, he was calming down.And by the end he was good to go.  "Hey, Daddy, I like the horsey now."
