The Pre-Rodeo show....SOO many horses in the arena!
I went to get some refreshment and the sun through the trees looked BEAUTIFUL!
The Faris wheel outside the stands.....pretty sweet.
STORY OF THE SUMMER!
One a side note: the day before I went to the rodeo I went to this outdoor swim park with my cousin and her kids. While I was there I thought it would be alright if I didn't put on sunscreen thinking:
1. It was a cool day
2. The sun didn't feel hot enough to ACTUALLY burn me
3. The week before when I went tubing down the river I didn't get sunburn (granted I was WEARING sunscreen....ha ha funny how I thought that I didn't get sunburn on my own accord....ha ha....no, sunscreen works, really it does)
4. And really I was just rebelling against it....thinking I was better than the sun or SOMETHING
Well the result? You can probably guess it, yes one MASSIVE sunburn on my back, one which resulted in a HUGE blister in the middle of my back. Ask any of my friends who saw the blister, it was the biggest blister I have ever seen, and most of my friends too! The odd thing is that the blister didn't show up until a day and a half later (I found it the night I got home from the rodeo). Sorry I just couldn't document the blister....I was appalled by my behavior that I am trying to forget it happened, accept for the fact that I will ALWAYS wear sunscreen again. I am a dork sometimes.....but don't worry I discovered that they make SPRAY on sunscreen that works just as well! =) You live a learn....and unfortunately just because we are older doesn't mean we are all that smart yet....ha ha. So wear your sunscreen, the sun really will get you! A special thanks to all of you who endured my panic phone calls to you over my poor blister. I really thought it was never going to go away....what an experience.

Just found your blog through Tally's, and having a 4 year old, I have become a massively HUGE fan of spray on sunscreen myself!
