On Wednesday, we went with some friends to the Oakley Rodeo. This was my first rodeo experience, and I have to say that I had a good time - even if I was cheering for the baby calves. It was amazing to see what precision each contestant had to have and how one small error could ruin their entire attempt. Also, while we were there, we unexpectingly ran into Mike's dad and his wife, Dana. They had been seated about ten rows behind us, and they happened to see us while we were taking a picture.

On Friday, we went with Mike's siblings to see Stadium of Fire. Mike's stepdad was able to get tickets for everyone, and we had pretty good seats. The event began with skydivers coming into the stadium, and each one had a flag that represented either our country or a particular branch of the military. Glenn Beck was the host, and he included several tributes to our country and freedom. One of the tributes consisted of rolling these huge banners over the audience on one side of the stadium...
There was also a dance where the dancers reinacted each event of the upcoming summer Olympics. They had local athletes participate, and it was quite entertaining. The two headlining events were the Blue Man Group and Miley Cyrus. Mike had seen the Blue Man Group perform in Vegas, and after seeing them on Friday, I would love to see their full length show. It was great! Of course, Miley Cyrus was the main event - there were teenage girls and little boys going crazy when she came on stage! Mike and I joked that we thought we had at least ten years or so before we would be going to see a performer like Miley, but I guess this is just getting us prepared for when we have our own kids asking to go see the teenage performers. The only Miley Cyrus song that I know is "See You Again" since it has been on the radio, but I will admit that I liked her music more than I thought I would. Mike wasn't too impressed, and I am not saying that I would run out to get her CD, but I did like it more than I thought I would.

On Saturday, we went to the Bees Game for my summer work party. We also invited my family to come along, which was fun. Our seats were pretty good...we were on the 15 row behind first base, so we had a good view of what was happening. Even though the Bees lost (6 - 0), we still had a fun time.
