Cloverdale Rodeo

Last weekend in Canada was a long weekend with Monday as a public holiday, called Victoria Day. We, as a family, went to Cloverdale to experience the big event of the Cloverdale Rodeo. This rodeo is billed as an opportunity to catch the World's BEST cowboys & cowgirls in Saddle Bronc, Bareback, Bull Riding and Ladies Barrel Racing. I have to admit that I was skeptical and thought it was going to be very hokey, but it turned out to be good fun and entertaining. The highlights was certainly the bull riding. While the biggest laugh was the sheep riding by three year old kids, at the interval, and all they were given were hockey helmets for protection. Not something that we will be volunteering Sam for when he gets older. We also got to meet Dr. Phil (ok.... not the real Dr. Phil, but a blue screen version of him).
