Too old for this...

Tonight we went to the Spooner Rodeo with Michelle, Donna, and Kevin. As Michelle explains it, I do think she and Donna are "sisters from another mister." Putting the two of them together is dangerous!!!

The forecast when we left the house looked as if we might get wet...well, the storm intensified after we left the house. We were able to see probably half of the event before the skies opened up and it downpoured. There was extreme lightening...but the strange thing was, there were still people in the metal bleachers and the show was continuing. Only in Wisconsin! The people in the stands and the performers were all drenched to the bone! We all took refuge under vendor awnings. It was quite a storm. We probably waited for an hour before it let up enough so we all wouldn't get soaked just getting to the car. I didn't take my camera in given the weather conditions, but Michelle had a "Gorton's Fisherman" jacket on so she took her's in. Photos compliments of Michelle!
As we were leaving the Rodeo, Donna and Kevin both told us how they thought it was quite funny that the "Pass Out" Gate showed Beer 50ft...for the rest of us, the sign actually read Beer Soft Drinks Food. I laughed until my stomach hurt!!


We all decided then to head up to Uncle Mike's for a "bump" as many call it here...Brad used to call them "orange whips"...ok, we went up to Uncle Mike's in Trego for a drink or two. The place is pretty nice...only thing I could see missing was a dart board...bummer for me. The place was quiet...then after a couple drinks, some fun photos with a rooster hat (not going into that!), the place came alive. A large group of people showed up together...they were drinking 190 proof shots and taking pictures as they passed the rooster hat around. As they were taking the photos, Donna was sneaking her happy little face into the background of as many photos as she could. It was a game...and she was winning by a landslide. It was totally funny...they had no idea it was even happening! Again, photos compliments of Michelle's new Nikon camera...she took some, I took some.


Here's an example of Donna getting in one of thier photos!!!
We finally packed it in and ended up home at 2am...we are old...we are too old for this when we know we have to be on the road to Hunt Hill in the morning by around 8am!!!
