Mexican Rodeo

On Saturday, Keith's parents stopped by on their way from Wyoming to Oklahoma. The National Western Stock Show had just started up so we thought it would be fun to go to the rodeo. The show that evening was the Mexican Rodeo. We had never been to the Mexican Rodeo but we went and had a great time. It was interesting to learn about what the traditions are at the Mexican Rodeo versus the rodeo here in the U.S. Oliver LOVED it and we are thinking about taking him back again before it is over.

Here is Oliver showing Nana his balloon. Yes, he may be slightly spoiled since I bought him a balloon when I went to the party store the other day. Hey, you're only a kid once. Someday he'll want something that costs more than $3, so I'll enjoy the simple pleasures while they last and we can afford them. HA!

Here is a demonstration when the show first started.

Oliver was quite serious through most of the rodeo and very intrigued by all of the action. Since it was a Mexican Rodeo they even had a mariachi band and dancers at the other end of the arena. He loved the music and all of the activity.

For a while, Oliver took a rest to snuggle with Nana.

... and then he snuggled with Mom.
