Mutton Bustin'








Tate has been talking about "Mutton Bustin'" since the rodeo last year and he was so excited to get to do it this year. While they have MB every night at the Austin rodeo they also have a separate event for kids who want to try it in the Youth Arena. We decided to let him do this thinking he might get nervous and back out at the last minute. However, he did not! He was nervous but he got on that sheep and rode and scored a 93! He won for the longest time in his group of 10 kids and was SO happy! He has been talking about it nonstop and looking at his trophy alot. It was so much fun to watch him, we just hope this doesn't mean he wants to pursue a career in PBR (professional bull riding) in the future. Thanks to my parents for coming down in the middle of the week to watch him and to Kim and Raegan and their kids for coming out. Tate loved having his friends there!
