75 years of the Ute Stampede




So another tradition that is in good old Nephi is the Ute Stampede Rodeo. It's a lot of fun and goes on for 3 days. The first day is the horse parade. And we watch all of the horses go down main street. Sometimes they throw candy but not all the time. Then after the parade is the rodeo. We went to the rodeo that day. My sister watched Zoey and we got to enjoy the rodeo with Tyler. He was really cute. He would laugh, dance, and hoop and holler for the guys to do a good job. Tyler liked the Wild Child. It's this guy that does stunts on a motorcycle. It was cool.





The second day is the Mammoth Parade and this is the big parade that they throw LOTS of candy and it goes on for like 2 hours! The kids loved this one of course. I like watching the drill team dance and the bands come through. It's fun. Then it's the rodeo. We stayed home and watched Linsey's little girl Megan.
The last day is the bathing beauty parade. We never go to this one. I think it's stupid watching girls in their bathing suits. No thank you. It's dumb. Then it's the rodeo. We went to the rodeo this night too with just Tyler again. We only stayed for half of it cause I wasn't feeling to well.

So that's that. I love Nephi and all the summer traditions they have going on! It's a good little town. Everyone is friendly and says hello even if they don't know who you are. It's a fun place to live.

The stampede was great. We had some crazy things happy but all in all it was great. I love being together and watching the kids have a great time. Summer is speeding by fast.

It was a good time. But glad that things are starting to slow down now.

I haven't been to rodeo for a long time. I love rodeos. It looks like great fun. It was fun talking to Tyler on the phone and hearing all about it. He was so excited and so darn cute. We miss you!!
