Bull Ridin'

The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) came to town last weekend, and we were able to go on Friday night. We weren't quite sure how long Hoyt would last since it was scheduled to run from about 8:00 to 10:00, but we had a feeling he'd like it and do OK.

Let's just say the child was mesmerized! From the moment the first bull came out of the chute, Hoyt was completely enthralled. We stayed until the bitter end - 10:20 - and Hoyt never cried, complained, or even seemed cranky. He acquired a little black toy bull while we were there, and his new favorite thing to do is to watch bull riding with Ryon, while sitting on his toy bull pretending to be "bucked off". It is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen!

LOVING the bag of popcorn!

Notice the little bull in Hoyt's hands (the one he pretends to ride!!) - he had to sleep with it for two nights following the bull riding. I had to wait until he fell asleep to go in and retrieve it. All he has talked about for the past week is bull riding and getting "bucked off"!

Look at those cheesy grins
