I love the rodeo. I am an unlikely candidate to be a rodeo fan because I don't like animals, the outdoors, or anything described as "rustic". What I do like is cowboys. Specifically, Cowboy Erik.
For those of you who don't know, Erik is not exactly a cowboy during 362 days of the year. For one magical weekend Erik is in charge of the rodeo at the fair. And that means he dresses like a cowboy. And that is awesome. Also it gets me out of cooking dinner for three nights straight. I love the rodeo.
This year our friends Alex and Aubrie and their cute little cowgirl Bella were able to come for one of the nights. It was super fun to have them there, and having a little kid sit by me gave me a good excuse to eat way too much cotton candy.
On the last day of the rodeo there is a special "belt buckle presentation" . Last year Don got the coveted belt buckle for rodeo support, but since he already had one, this year Erik got it. He got to ride all around the arena in a fancy truck and now he has a belt buckle with his name on it. Plus, we got a great front row seat to the monkey side show where monkeys ride collies and herd goats. I can't make this stuff up.

In other news, cheer tryouts went well and I think we have a solid team heading into football season. Unfortunately Erik and I are both sick today, but we're having a lovely time laying in bed arguing about who feels worse. For the record, it's totally me. Come visit us, but maybe wait a week or two until disease has left our home.
