Many of you already know I grew up in Texas (we moved here to Dallas when I was 9 years old) so this is pretty much home. Well… despite being raised in Texas, there are certain Texan experiences that I have not had yet. One such experience was riding a mechanical bull. I am happy to report that I have crossed this off my list as I have now ridden a mechanical bull. A coworker of mine had a birthday party last night at a country western club, and they had one, so I could not pass up the opportunity. Below is a picture. I must say that it was pretty fun. I didn’t stay on as long as I would have liked to because I was sliding down so far to the point that I was sitting on my hand and it started to hurt, so I kinda gave in and allowed myself to be thrown off. I’ll have to try again another time, maybe when William is in town 😉
…maybe, maybe not. There are a few more pictures on Kyllan’s Flickr page. There are a couple of pictures from her trip to Denver on mine.
I’ve always wanted to try! They have this big nightclub/bar out here called “Sattle Ranch” and there’s a bull. I’ve been a couple of times and watched plenty of people do it, but I always chicken out. Maybe that’ll be something new for me to try in ’08.
oh kyllan!! i’ve ALWAYS wanted to ride a mechanical bull! the next time i’m in dallas….this event will be a must for us! 🙂
love ya!
ps. see how i be reading your blog?! 😛
Leigh- Glad to see at least one of my friends reads our blog. Besides family, William’s friends (whom I have now adopted as MY friends) are the only ones who leave comments, so I do appreciate you stopping by! It is so funny b/c your line sister wanted to ride a mechanical bull when she was in town for the wedding, but I didn’t know where to send her. Well… now I have found a place, so next time ya’ll are in town, we will put it on the list. And… despite the fact that it is a county western place and I really am not into a lot of country western, they did play a few tracks outside country. I did have the opportunity to show my co-worker how to do the cupid shuffle 🙂
p.s. I may be in your neck of the woods in May. I will keep you posted.
Born and raised in Texas and never rode a mechanical bull either. I’m definitely doing it when I get back!
Go Ky!
