Heathies: Caldwell Night Rodeo

also known as the CNR! Again as per family tradition we hit the CNR on Thursday. We had dinner at the Kiwanis Chuckwagon where you can have all-you-can eat Crookham corn. This is the only time us regular people can get our hands on that golden, delicious, sweet as candy goodness. After we ate we headed over to the "Rowdy" side. I think they must be more rowdy on this side because you have to sit in the blazing hot sun while the "Civies" are in the shade. Why do we sit on this side? Because, it's where the "cool" kids sit. Apparently all the smokers sit on this side too and Brandon asked four different people to please stop because those of us down wind of them were being "smoked out". There was also this big group of middle aged men sitting just below us gambling and drinking to their little hearts content, we counted three different "ice boxes" of beer they bought from the "beer garden", they would thumbs up and thumbs down on the riders and then pass around their money. One guy wanted in on the cash so he was trying to make a deal with the "gamblers" that he would steal the "gold medal" (a little competition we had with the Civies) if they would pay him x amount of dollars. He didn't get his money. There was also this young gal who appeared to be pregnant, and drunk as well who was very excited for everyone that rode, she stood up with her beer in one hand and cigarette in the other and cheered for everyone. Classy! If only we could all be so lucky to have such a loving mother. The rodeo definitely brings out some of the best. As always though it was a good time. It was Brandon's first, he loved getting back to my roots and being surrounded by "hicks".
Thanks Mom for the tickets!
