Rodeo Weekend

Hello from Sulphur Springs TX!  Last night was Round one of the UFR (United Finals Rodeo)  It's wet and cold and miserable here, good thing the arena is indoors and heated!!  Sean entered into the finals in fourth place and after last night he is still sitting in fourth place but only by 10 bucks!!  He placed third in the round with a time of 4.5!!  Third one him $575 woo hoo I'm going shopping!!
He is now $915 behind first place but it's really anyone's game because the rounds are paying $1,200 and the average pays $2200!  Only eight guys out of the 15 in the finals caught their steers so Now Sean's only competeing against seven guys for the average!! 

Be thinking of us because We could really use the money!!  and I really want Sean to win the saddle!!  We only have on problem, Sean pulled or tore something in his Left Shoulder tuesday night at practice and is really in pain.  It's the opposite sholder of the one he uses to Steer Wrestle so that is good, but it's still keeping him from being %100. 


The lighting in this arena wasn't too hott.  I took some photos but not all of them turned out like I had hoped.  I was using my 400 zoom without a tripod so I think for what I was shooting with they turned out ok.  Tonight I'm going to use my 150 zoom lens that has a larger apeture so hopefully I can get better shots!!
