Rodeo Recap....
Made it to Wendy's about 2p and we headed out...and immediately got stuck in horrendous traffic on 45. We finally were able to cut over to the toll road to 59 and be on our way.....so it took nearly an hour and a half for us to get to stadium! First stop was Pappsitos for a yummy late lunch/early dinner. I forgot just how good the scenary in that area can be this time of year (there was a table of cowboys not far from us).
We decided to chance parking on site and managed to get into the handicapped lot (I got carded--LOL) and it only cost $7 to park!--and we were practically at the door. Bonus. We walked the stock show but didn't see anything we absolutely had to have. Didn't see any fun or cute footware at the different boot vendors.
So it was off to the rodeo. We were there for the start--which has been rare for us in the past few years. We also opted to actually go to the section where our seats were located--and for the 500 section they weren't bad. We had a great view of the arena and video screens. In fact, we actually opted to stay up there for the show as opposed to moving down lower.
Naturally, Clay was wonderful but the set seemed short this year. And while there was energy, it was not up to what we've seen from Clay in past years. He mentioned he was fighting a cold. When he was mounting the horse to leave the stage/arena, Wendy noticed him stumble a bit and noted that he had difficulty getting his right leg over the horse. My guess would be he's experiencing some of the annoying MS symptoms on top of the cold. Poor guy...but he put everything he had into that performance. Go Clay!
