Strawberry Days!!

This week was Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove!! It was a lot of fun! I had my first experience at a rodeo! I actually LOVED it! Haha I thought it was so amazing and funny at the same time! As Strawberry Days Royalty, we got to ride in a carriage around the arena and wave to everyone. It was simple, but fun! I loved to watch the Motocross boys do their awesome tricks off the ramp! I was scared for them, it didn't look like they we going to make some of those flips! It was amazing! I also loved to watch the wild-cow milking! It was so scary! A few people almost got their heads trampled under some crazy momma cows. They do some pretty cruel things to those animals at the rodeo, like shocking the bulls and roping the cows to the ground till they can't move. Haha It's really kind of sad, but It's cool that people can actually do things like that. !! I don’t know how the people get the desire to do some of those events-As my mom would say, “They’re just “Red-Necks”” (Meaning Hillbillies) Haha, my mom’s funny! Sometimes I wish that I could trade lives with the Rodeo Queens(only a day though, ha ha) -I think it'd be so fun to ride the horses, and wear the awesome wrangler jeans! I think I'll just stick to the Scholarship pageants, ha ha. It's really fun to be with the Rodeo girls, their very sweet!For the other events for Strawberry Days, we had a parade, children's day, baby contest (Our moms helped judge with us), carnival, Pie-eating contest (which I lost, ha ha) and much more. I enjoyed be involved in it all.

Ashley came with me to the Rodeo on Thursday! I was so excited to play and spend time with her! We didn't really know what was going on at first, but we figured it out :) I love her guts! After the rodeo, we watched the results for So You Think You Can Dance! I loved Shane Spark's dance-Amazing!

Saturday, I took Kala to the Carnival because the Royalty got free tickets. What was I thinking?! It was a lot of fun, but by the end, I was SO SO Sick! Fortunately for Kala, after all the spinning and spinning, I didn't throw up on her. Haha, well I didn't throw up at all, but I was sure close to it!

My parents came and watched Saturday-bless their hearts! They were both super tired after my dad came home from Scout Camp and my mom had just finished running the Wasatch Back Relay (which means she didn't sleep for like 2 days) She did great-GO MOM! I think they had a lot of fun though! They also got free food of course because the royalty gets free food. I ate Strawberries and cream like every single day last week. Probably not so smart-but it only happens once a year! Haha.

I loved spending so much time with all the Royalty this past week! They seriously are wonderful and amazing girls :) I'm so happy we're becoming such good friends! I love them all!

This video was just for fun! (Notice I forgot the lens would be zoomed up on our faces! Whoops! Ha ha)
