We left Houston today and drove the 4 ½ hours to Fort Worth. Because it wasn’t a very long drive, Rachel and I went swimming for a few hours before getting ready for a signature Texas rodeo. We went out to try some Texas barbeque, which turned out to be delicious. Between the four of us, we tried all of the meats – beef, chicken, and pork. I decided on a beef brisket sandwich, and it was one of the best that I had ever tasted. Besides, any place with pickle spears like Spring Creek Barbeque’s can’t be all that bad. I wish we had one of those in Greenville!
After we finished eating, we headed over to the Mesquite Rodeo, which has been entertaining Texans for 51 years. The two-hour long show included PBR (Professional Bull Riders) bull riding, bronco riding, barrel racing, calf roping, and a few other “sports” if that’s what they could be called.
I only recognized one of the bull riders, Cody Hart, who is sitting in the #45 spot for the World Championship PBR. Also only three riders all night stayed on their bulls for 8 seconds. The rest of the competitors lasted about 4 seconds each.
Most of the bronc riders fared better, and the barrel racing competition was varied. The barrel racing winner had a 16.49 time, with second place being 16.59. The rodeo was definitely an enjoyable Texas experience.
