So, we went to watch the PBR in Orlando Saturday, and I think we might finally be recovered from it. For those of you who don't know (and I can only imagine there are only about 3 of you (please read this in a voice dripping with sarcasm)) the PBR stands for Professional Bull Riding. Of course it does! My husband's quite into it because there are about... 10 Brazilians or so on tour right now. There are a few Aussies, too, although one of them has a... not so nice personality in my opinion. Anyone ever heard of Troy Dunn though? He was a world champ back in the 90s methinks. Anyway, 45 guys participate on a mostly weekly basis. We usually catch it on TV, but because it was relatively close this time so we went to see it live! Whee!

Orlando's about a 2 hour drive from us, so first we had to get there. THAT was exhausting, and we're out of practice! Where we used to live, we were in the car for that amount of time every other weekend or so just to get  to the "big city", but now that we live in a city, we don't need to do that any more, so we're out of practice. Anyhoo...

We got to Orlando at around 2 o'clock and went to get tickets for the bull riding. After that we ate, and then drove around Orlando for awhile. My mom went with us, so we showed her where Disney World is. There's a place called Downtown Disney that's kind of a fun place to wander around, and that's where the Cirque de Soleil is. Someday I want to go see that show, but it's $60 a person!!!

We finally headed to the rodeo arena at about 5:30 even though it wouldn't start 'til 7:30. We got a good parking spot! They had some live music and things outside the arena, so we wandered around a bit and killed sometime before heading to our nosebleed seats inside.

I have to say I was a bit disappointed this year! Almost everybody bucked off!! It sucked! And it wasn't even close half the time! Everybody bucked off in 2 seconds or less it seemed like. I don't think I saw much of the end of it anyway, because less than half way through things, both Emily and Thiago were asking me "When is this over?" It was a loooong day! And the next day wasn't much better. They were both so overtired I think they spent 90% of the day bickering. Arrgh. I get tired of that REAL quick. I though it was funny though, that Thiago told me about 3 times that he had fun at the PBR!!! This from the kid who wanted to know when it would be over almost as soon as it started!! Go figure!

So all this was over the weekend, and here it is Tuesday and I think we're just now recovering! Hopefully tomorrow everyone will be even more rested and we'll all get along all day long. I can hope...

I'm off to watch Ice Road Truckers now!!
