This was the first year we had been to
Whoop up days. My parents went last year. People from all over go to Conrad Montana for this event. There's a parade, a rodeo, mud trucks, rhubarb festival and lots of vendors selling things.
Tammy's next door neighbor came over and asked if the kids wanted to be in the kid parade. Of course they did. The neighbor supplied the
costumes and off we went!
Araya was the cutest little
lion I've ever seen!
I tell ya, Montana sure knows it's
farm equipment. We're use to seeing big mining trucks, fire engines, and police cars.
Here it's all about the farm! The
parade lasted over an hour. It was amazing. The best parade we've ever seen. There was a huge variety of floats. tons to look at. The kids made a pretty big haul of parade candy too!
Then it was off to the rodeo grounds. I can't tell you the last time I went to a rodeo. Probably for Butterfield Stage Days in Benson when I was in high School. This
rodeo was awesome.
The wind was blowing but it didn't
spoil the day. We all went home a little sunburned
Z-MAN rocked. This is one of the coolest rodeo clowns I've seen. He was so funny and entertaining. He's in james ward too. What a hoot!
The rodeo clowns stole the show. Not one of the bull riders were able to ride for 8 seconds, but man could the clowns keep us
entertained for hours!
I don't have pictures of it but Sydney got to ride a sheep in the Mutton Busting competition. Both girls were signed up to do it but when it came time for us to go there was only one sheep left. There was a long line of kids behind us too that didn't get the chance to ride. The little girl just before us fell off the sheep and hit her nose on the ground. There was quite a bit of blood from her bloody nose so Alex very quickly decided that Sydney could have the last sheep. They got a shirt for participating. After a day out in the wind in sun, we were all ready to get home and shower and take naps. This made the trip memorable. I think we're going to try to make it an annual visit.
WHOOP UP!
