For us, the kick off to summer is hitting the local rodeo. As you drive into the town each of the houses along the streets sport freshly mowed lawns, immaculate flowerbeds, and cars in every driveway, which leads one to believe family is in town for the weekend of activities. It reminds us of a small town in Colorado we went to each summer as children. It has that exact same down-home, everyone knows everyone, country feel.
Every year our family gets together, sits in generally the same area, and has a great time watching every event. Dad grew up on a ranch in Colorado and knows all about each event so when we have questions, he has answers. We leave happy at the end of the night with sticky fingers from snow cones, dirty jeans from wrestling kiddos, and another year of happy memories spent with the family.
It is also fun to people watch and see all of the different cowboy/cowgirl looks from both those that are true cowboys/cowgirls and those who "dressed up" for the rodeo. Here is our take on a "rodeo look" from what we had in our closet. Boots, white (one of my beach sundresses), denim of any kind is a must, turquoise jewelry, and of course top it all with a hat! Yee haw! Happy start of summer Y'all!
