Well, I don't know what else to say. This is perhaps my strangest Thanksgiving picture ever. I have played wiffle ball with a plastic pilgrim firstbasemen and a cardboard turkey at second, I have played football with a styrofoam pumpkin, and I made it a point to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of turkey one Thanksgiving camping trip.
But I've never rodeoed on Thanksgiving. The truth is my cousin gave me a perfectly looped lasso to hold and the horse couldn't go anywhere but inside the arena. It was also nice that the few horses that our cousins had out for us city slickers refused to bump into each other no matter how poorly we steered them. Speaking of steering, wouldn't somebody make a lot of money if they just made a little steering wheel to put on the saddle horn? I mean you could actually just wrap the reins around the wheel and make it really work! That would make us city types a lot more comfortable.
For the sake of this picture, I only wish I had thought to wear a long sleeve shirt and a cowboy hat... and boots... and spurs. Next year. Of course that'll be the year we go to the bowling alley and bowl with frozen turkeys in a long sleeve shirt and a cowboy hat...and boots...and spurs.
Life Lesson: Traditions are a lot more fun when they keep changing!
