You (or at least I) might not think of Rochester, Minnesota as a western town. I don't think of coyboys, cattle or rodeos but, in the spirit of America, there is a rodeo in Rochester. Now I'm not saying there aren't any fair-dinkum types in and around Rochester (although there is a tremendous shortage in my lab) there must be a few, judging by the attendance at the rodeo. Once again we figured it might be a bit late and too much for Pierce but perfect for another Natalya and daddy outing. Also once again, we met up with our mates Vincent, Claire and Lucas.
It was an evening event and the weather was great. At first Natalya and Lucas were a bit restless but they soon got right into it. There was music for dancing and plenty to watch. They began with bucking broncs but went through a pretty full schedule. It wasn't like the Mt Isa or Charters Towers Rodeo but pretty impressive for Rochester. It was much better than I expected and I had a great time, watching the show and the kids as they enjoyed themselves. We didn't get to see the end of the bullriding as it was getting a bit late, but Natalya was very pleased we went. I know she gets a bit bored with all the hikes I usually take her on, so it is good that other people we know keep an eye out for other cool things that are going on and let us know. All in all it was a great night.
