When my friends from WI arrived, we headed downtown to the local farmer's market. We bought some homemade kettle corn and Jessica and I were quite excited about it! :) (Again, if you click ONCE on the picture, it will make it MUCH bigger and easier to see.)
Next, we headed to the local sushi restaurant. Jessica was NOT excited about this, but we managed to talk her into trying it out. It was delicious! Jessica thought it was so-so, but she still was okay with some of it. :) Beth and I...
The spread....
Jessica getting ready for her first big bite! And, no, that's not fear you're seeing...she's just trying to remain positive! :)
In the meantime, I'm shocked at what Beth was brave enough to try. Can you tell? :)
All-in-all, it was a nice evening. The next day, we decided to head to the Cheyenne Frontier Days. Those rodeos are about four hours long and when it's your first time there, it's kind of overwhelming because there is SO much going on. Seriously, it's a non-stop four hours of activity and things going on. It's fun, but definitely sensory overload.
A mass of cowboys during the wild horse race...
Crazy buckin' bronc!!
Even crazier bull!! :)
This part of the show was pretty impressive. This BEAUTIFUL team of six horses was able to turn this wagon rig around and around in circles, over and over. VERY impressive! Here's a series of photos of the event...
Look at the front wheels in this one (below)! Impressive!!!
As always, there's a rodeo clown. This guy was SO funny! Here he is playing his fake electric guitar. HILARIOUS!
Next, he wanted to be sure that the steers in the steer roping weren't running too fast, so he tried to "clock" the steer.
There were all kinds of eventful things that happened that day...this guy face planted...
...and THIS guy about lost his hat! Whoo-whee!! :)

Oh, and one of the best things about CFD...the fair rides!! Here's a cool shot that Beth took through the fence...
When I asked Jessica & Beth if I could go on one of the rides, they said NO and that we had to head home. This was my reaction...yes, that's right...I was NOT impressed.
We had a great day at the CFD, from the parades to the buckin' broncs to the steer wrestling, it was a grand 'ol time and we had SO much fun! :)
