Seymour Rodeo

Last weekend we packed up the car and drove to Seymour, TX to visit my sister in-law. For those of you that don't know (and that's about everyone), Seymour is a tiny town near Witchita Falls...population 2000 something. Have you ever driven thru a small town and seen a house in the middle of no where and wondered about the life of the family that lives there? That's my sister in-laws house! ;) She has a lot of land, animals, etc.

This past weekend there was a big annual event...the Seymour Rodeo! Actually, people do come in from all areas for this rodeo. I was surprised to hear there were riders in from Weatherford, Palestine, and a few other places that sounded familiar that I can't remember. They also have a parade earlier in the day that goes thru the middle of town. My niece actually rides in the rodeo, and led the parade. Another neice of mine rode on the fire truck looking like a beauty queen.

We had a blast! Isabella actually participated in the cow scramble, which shocked the heck out of me! Isabella is scared of flies, and she went chasing after a cow trying to pull the ribbon off it. That girl shoved her way to the front right before it started and then took off flying...in the wrong direction at first, but that is besides the point. She couldn't see the cow over the big kids...they let kids up to 12 participate. She found her way very quickly. The funny thing was she was soooo upset afterwards. In her mind, she was going to win this thing. She was so disappointed that she didn't win, because "she wanted to." Wow.

We look forward to going next year...Yee Haw! :)
