Rodeo!

Hey, everyone! Two weeks ago we went to the N.P.B.R. Rodeo because it was coming through town. It was the finals! The top 45 bull riders in the N.P.B.R. were there. It was awsome! There were some REALLY good rides and some really bad ones where people only stayed on for a 1 or 2 seconds. There were painful looking ones and there were funny ones. I filmed one of the rides with our digital camera while we were there. Here it is:


They had really good home made beef jerky and old fashioned candy sticks. My mom, dad, and housekeeper are watching what they eat so when my dad and I came back from the concession stand to get some cotton candy and nachos, my mom and housekeeper were questioning him and asking him if he had munched down a cheeseburger on the way back. Of course, he said he didn't. Then he went off for about a half an hour on his own during the rodeo--who knows what he ate then...

In the middle of the rodeo when they took a break, they had a "calf cash grab" or something for all the kids under 12 so I joined in--or rather, my mom made me join. Turns out it was pretty fun! There was a ring tied on a calf's tail. There were three calves and probably anywhere from 50 to 90 kids. The goal was to grab the ring off the calf's tail and bring it to the rodeo clown. The winner would get cash. It was chaos! It was like a stampede! It was hard running in my Crocs because they don't grip like sneakers would and they don't like to stay on my feet. But, I was able to just touch the ring on the calf's tail then this Mexican kid grabbed it right off its tail and ran to the clown. He won. It was really fun except for the two times I got trampled. The first time, I ran over a kid then everyone tripped over us. The second time, someone stepped on the back of my Crocs and tripped me. After that, it was all down hill from there. I probably swallowed about a pound of dirt during that event.

Well, I have to log onto Roblox! Bye!

Bulldogs

I can't post pictures of my face or my family's face but that doesn't mean I can't post pictures of my dogs! I have two English bulldogs, Otto, and Lily. They're both three and a half and they are brother and sister from the same litter. Otto is the male and Lily is the female. Here are some pictures of them:


This is a picture of Otto's face lying in the grass. He spends about
80% of his day sleeping, 10% of his day playing and walking around the house, and 10% of his day looking around the floor for food that we drop. He likes to follow me around EVERYWHERE! He likes me the most then my Dad then my Mom. He is definetly a kid dog. He plays a lot more than Lily does.



This is a picture of Lily lying with her face in the grass. Honestly, she has to be the laziest dog I've ever seen. She spends probably around 97% of her day sleeping, and three percent eating. That's all she does! She doesn't like it when people get close to her face or she growls. She used to be a kid dog before we left for Jordan but when we came back to the U.S. and got her she wasn't a real kid dog. Maybe some kid hit her or something and now she thinks that all kids will hit her. She loves my dad the most.



This is a picture of the two of them in our front yard. When we got them when we came to the U.S. they didn't really remember each other and didn't seem to like each other but now they have warmed up to each other again and now Lily even goes into Otto's bed at night!


This is a good picture of their faces. Otto doesn't like to look people in the eye and both of them are very camera shy. We got this picture when I was eating my bagel for breakfast and my dad came up behind the couch and took a picture of them.


So, those are my dogs! I have to log onto Roblox and check my e-mail now, so, check back tomorrow!
