Ruthie's First Rodeo

Rue can officially say,  "Well this ain't my first Rodeo..."  because today was.  :)

A dear friend of ours got crowned, or should I say Buckled, Miss Rodeo Illinois.  

Kate Perry, Miss Rodeo Illinois, everyone....

We also saw lots of hurt cowboys!  One with a dislocated shoulder, one was still hooked to a strap and got spun around by the bull two or three times.  CRAZY people pay to do this, really.  

Ruthie was a hoot.  She really liked watching the horses.  And her boots were pretty cool.  

And a good time was had by all!  Congrats Katie!!!
