KATHERINE SHOW

AND

RODEO  2017

Well, last weekend was our annual show and rodeo.

We look forward to this exciting event every year.

Dave looks forward to the show junk food,

and I look forward to an opportunity to take more

photos! Go figure??

Now that the girls are older,

Dave and I walk around the show by ourselves

and the girls hang out with friends

and ride the rides.

Being a small show, we constantly

run into each other, then we meet up at the

rodeo for all the excitement.

This year was extra special because

it was Miriam's very first show and rodeo!

She very happily slept through most of it!

Thankfully, no bulls or broncs collided with

the rails in front of her!

I love these adorable kids.

And these were bull riders in the making.

Yes, these little fellas rode!

And now, here's some random pics from the night.

 This old bull was a spinner.

He came out of the gates

and went round and round in circles.

Bet that cowboy didn't need to

go on any showrides after that!

Of course, the rides are a big drawcard

for the girls and Maddie upped the anti when

she took on the SPEED ride with a friend.

I've uploaded a video for you to

catch the action and here are some stats:

SPEED

37 metres high

13 revolutions per minute

Acceleration 3.5g on the rider

And that's all of the show until next year!
