Few things make Colorado girls feel like they've come back home like a night of college rodeo. It's about as iconically American West as it gets and it never gets old. When we found out we had arrived in time for the regional college rodeo we sure as heck weren't missing it.  At $4 a head it was half the price of your average movie ticket. 

Every place has a story. This one is reading really well.

There's a story behind those chaps.  I'm tellin' you. There's gotta be. You don't sew that into leather for nothing.

Aidan said if he was ever to do a rodeo event it would be steer wrestling.

His sisters pointed out that you don't get to pad up like football for steer wrestling…

So much fun.  But I'm pretty sure we are all gonna be saying, "Son of a gun!" for the rest of the week now at least.  Have I mentioned the emcee?
