Today was great! The Royal Rangers program at the church we're staying at had the Sectional Pinewood Derby this morning. I thought we'd be gone by now and so I didn't worry about making a car to race with Gabriel. Well, an hour and a half before the race was going to start I decided to make a car! I used a couple tricks I picked up at James River AG in Springfield, MO. Dad and Mom made a car for Gabriel and Naomi, also. The race was a blast, there were over a hundred people there. Surprisingly, I won second place in my division!Pretty good for 30 minutes of work.
Tonight was the event we've wanted to go to for a long time, the PBR (professional bullriding)! This is where the the big dogs, such as Mike Lee and Kody Lostroh, ride. When we went in, Mom signed us up for the PBR Fan Club which means for a year we now get the PBR magazine, we get to go into the arena before and after the event to talk to the riders, and Gabriel got a free t-shirt! Before it started we got to go down and be on Versus TV while they interviewed one of the bullriders! Then we went and sat down in our seats, five stories above the arena floor! The stadium, Jobing.com, is huge. The bullriding was great, we got to see some awesome rides and close calls. Kody Lostroh ended up winning the event. After it was over we made our way down to the arena to meet some of the cowboys. With our fanclub pass we were able to get inside and walk around with the bullriders. Then we saw the one we'd been looking for, MIKE LEE! Gabriel was literaly jumping for joy. Mike signed Gabriel's vest and hat and posed for some pictures with him. We were the last ones to leave the arena, Gabriel didn't want to go. God gave us so much favor tonight it was amazing. I had a great time and can't wait to go to the next event!

Congrats on the racing trophy! Watch out NASCAR! The PBR sounds great -- how did it compare with the Cody, WY Rodeo? The pics are really good -- Gabe & Mike, Bullriding team, and all those beautiful cowgirls and handsome cowboys -- yeehaw!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that you could really compare the PBR and the Cody Rodeo. The PBR is all bull riding, while the Cody Rodeo was a mixture of everything. I think both were great!
