Mutton Bustin'

Not only did we get to attend the rodeo last night, but Stetson got to be a part of it!!  We knew Stetson was old enough and met all the requirements to sign up for Mutton Bustin' (riding on a sheep) prior to attending, but we weren't sure he would want to do it.  We showed him a video of what it was and he was 100% on board!

One of the reasons we arrived early, was to register Stetson for the Mutton Bustin'.  Each child put their name in a drawing and only eight kids would be selected.  We were on pins and needles waiting to see if he would be chosen or not!  I mean, come on, with a name like Stetson how could they possibly turn him down?

Daddy filled out the paperwork to enter Stetson in the drawing.

 At Intermission, Daddy and Stetson went to see if he made the cut.

Here he is all dressed and ready to go!

I was still in the stands trying to catch all the action but wishing I was down right smack in the middle of it!  J is in the orange shirt waiting for Stetson to ride.

Here is a shot of Stetson and Daddy right after the ride.

Introducing our little cowboy, the Mutton Bustin' professional...

We are so proud of you, Stetson!  This trophy means the world to this little boy!
