For the second year in a row my dad has made the trek to St. George to come visit us in January. He's thinking this may have to become an annual thing. It's always fun to have him come for a little visit. While he was here we; played a lot with Jenna, took naps, and went to my first rodeo. You read that right, I went to a rodeo. My first {and more than likely last} rodeo. My favorite part may {after, of course, the 45 minute patriotic preamble...good night! If you have ever been to a rodeo you know what I am talking about. I think they played every patriotic song ever written and played some poem read by John Wayne. I'm telling you, I thought it would never end. But I digress, my favorite part had to have come about half way through when the announcer starts going into this schpeal that I swear they wrote for me. On and on about how well all the animals are treated, about how much they love their jobs, about what a human sport this is, etc. when out of no where a horse fully JUMPS THE RAILS and into the arena. Nearly got high centered. I just looked at my Dad like, you have got to be kidding me. He loves it so much he's willing to potentially get really hurt or stuck to get out of the pen. It was absolutely classic. We got a couple of pics. Nothing great.
We also my dad to see Zion's National Park. It was his first time and I think he really enjoyed it. He's trying to get to as many of the original lodges as possible so he was stoked to get a picture with Zion's original lodge. The ice and snow prevented us from getting to far into the trails but it changed the beauty of the place a little. And it was a great trip any way.
