I'm pretty sure that Will's absolute favorite event of the year is the rodeo. He loves to go and look at all the animals, exhibits, and spend as much time as possible out there taking it all in. And there is one event in particular that has always had his attention -- mutton bustin.
You have to 5 to participate and he has been looking forward to his shot for the last couple of years. This year is finally his year.
Here's B discussing with Daddy what animal she is going to ride since Will gets to ride a sheep. She thought maybe a pig would be a good choice, but we settled on a pony. :)
Where's Will??
Getting suited up for the big ride! This mama is getting a little nervous watching all the gear go on...
But he is SO excited!
And there he goes!!
Hanging on tight!
Still going strong across the arena!
He started slipping off but he wasn't letting go! He made it all the way across before the sheep officially had enough of him.
Still smiling even after get a little kick in the gut from the sheep.
96 points and in 1st place after his ride!
The 1st place finish didn't stay that way (one more rider scored one more point) but this little cowboy was still excited about his ride and is ready to do it again!
