Oh Rodeo...

There are two reasons why living in this state in July is far superior than living in any other state in July...

1. Another holiday to celebrate freedom, family and heritage. Which inevitably leads to additional BBQs, fireworks and icy deliciousness.

And then these...

2. Rodeo Butts - Holy Fetch - They drive me nuts.

Both literally and in a cute way. Have you ever toted two sweaty little red-cheeked one-year-olds to a rodeo that starts at 8 pm and goes 'til 11? There should be a term for such summer madness... something that my limited english language skills can not yet define - but I'll work on it. We made it - with only one boot and one sippy cup missing in the treasure trove that is "beneath the bleachers" and as far as we can tell no one suffered heat stroke in our little party.

So, while it was NOT easy, nor was it super relaxing... it was fantastic.

And thus, I will end by focusing on the cute part again...

Wrangler, this shout out is to you...

Well done, folks.

And yes, we're totally willing to pimp out these little cowboys for your next ad.

Happy Holiday Weekend!
