PBR

So Black&Decker gave Brian and I VIP tickets to the PBR Rodeo in San Antonio. I didn't think I would get to go because I would need to be with Beckham, but THANKS to Brian's AWESOME parents babysitting the little dude I got to go on a sweeet date with my love! We had SO much fun!


THE PRESHOW

When I said VIP I meant VIP. We were escorted down to the rodeo grounds (the court if it were a basketball game) where we watched the preshow fireworks and what not.



B during the preshow.



Preshow glitz.



We were escorted from the rodeo grounds, through the underground tunnels, then up to our seats after when the rodeo began. I felt like a legit VIP. (can you tell I've never been backstage for anything special -- I felt cool)



Our seats were directly above the chutes where the cowboys get on the bulls and then the gate gets pulled and the bull starts bucking. SO COOL!



Directly behind our seats were the pins where all of the bulls were kept ... our seats would shake when the bulls got rowdy. We loved it!


THE SHOW



A bull rider getting thrown by the bull ... YIKES!



He walked it off ... no big deal.



The bull rider sponsored by Stanley Black&Decker ... he was kind of a hottie. I told B I had a crush on a cowboy. He's on the bull in the shoot.



Our sponsored rider ridin the bull.



He got launched off the bull and stepped on ... but again, just walked it off.



The bull riders would walk right past us after they rode ... I don't know anything about them, but I get the feeling they are somewhat of a celebrity, at least with the country folk. SO I felt cool when they walked right next to me and even brushed my legs with their chaps. :)



The winner of the rodeo!



End of the rodeo ... We had SO much fun! Such a different date from the typical dinner and a redbox movie. Thanks Black&Decker for sending us!! Oh and I almost forgot to mention ... our nieces watched the rodeo on tv and said they saw Brian and I for a second!! Holler!
