Cowboys and cows

Yesterday we checked out a "cattle drive". It's the start of a yearly 3-day rodeo with it's peak on July 4th. We've seen the cattle drive before, but this time was the first with the kids in tow. When they started shouting that no kids should be in their strollers "in the event of cows breaking loose", I was starting to wonder if this was a great idea. That and the heat in combination...

Oh, well. No cows broke lose, the cowboys kept them securely moving forward and it didn't last too long - not even the cows could stand the heat probably. The parade had it's usual ingredients - motorcycle police men, huge American flags, old vehicles - and the cows of course.

Oj! Så de har verkligen alla dessa nötkreatur i paraden!!! Tur att det inte blev någon kopanik då iallafall.

Saltistjejen - japp! Fullt av kossor med långa, krokiga horn. Ingen ko-panik utbröt - de var så snälla så.
