Sweet friends of ours invited us to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo. I've lived in the area my whole life and I've never had the pleasure of attending this pro-rodeo... my kids have never ever attended a rodeo so this was a fun experience for us all! And that it happened to be "first responders night" made our experience all the more special.
With a family friendly and patriotic atmosphere this rodeo has been around for over 50 years... a few presidents and many celebrities have even graced the doors. Yeeehaw!
We watched Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Steer Wrestling, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, Barrel Racing and the exciting -- Bull Riding! We couldn't help but notice real cowboys, cowgirls and the rodeo clown... a.k.a. Bull Fighters! Ride 'em cowboy!
It's a shame this photo is blurry... but I LOVE it! We were very fortunate to sit in a "box" so we truly had a view of the entire arena... the kiddos loved their seats!
We also enjoyed The Wizard of Whips and Ropes... truly amazing!
It was a great night with great friends... and a late bed time. But it was so worth it! And here's to the perfect first post dedicated to my ABC Tour Texas blog series...

Mesquite Rodeo?? Texas at it's finest. :) I have many great memories there. I love your "ABC's" series. I'm inspired! Our kids only have 6 weeks off this summer....but maybe next year I'll represent and do an ABC's of FL summer. I have a feeling your series is going to REALLY make me miss the lone star state but I look forward to following your adventures dear lady! xoxo p.s. I really need to figure out how in the world to use the photoshop program that has been sitting on my computer for 1.5 years now-love the text.
Kim!!! The rodeo is 5 minutes from my house!!
