Vest Family Reunion 2011~Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Rodeo

The Vest Family Reunion 2011 commenced with a family barbecue and a night at the Fiesta Days Rodeo. From the pre-show at 7:30 until the end of the rodeo, close to 11 p.m. made for a very long night. The kids loved the atmosphere, but weren't captivated by the rodeo itself. We ended up leaving a little bit before the end with the boys to get them to sleep because we had to wake up early the next morning to hike Timpanogos Caves. Joseph was in San Diego until late that night, so he didn't make it to the rodeo.

Fiesta Days Rodeo

I believe in attending a rodeo once a year for the cultural experience that it is. People- watching at these events is just as much fun (if not more) than the event itself. The two boys below happened to be my favorite people to watch at this particular rodeo. I am convinced that my nephew Boston should be in the movies. This little guy is so animated and has such personality, it was so much fun to watch them watch the rodeo. They were TOTALLY into it. They acted like two old men trapped inside 3-year-old bodies.

We had to take cover in the middle of the rodeo because of a few sprinkles.
