Spork goes country.....

The wait is over! I've finally got a second to update you all on the adventures of Spork so here we go!

For those of you not familiar with Utah county, the last week of June can mean only one thing.....Lehi Round-Up Days! Spork managed to snag a couple tickets to the rodeo Friday night so they packed up their stuff and headed to Lehi Friday afternoon to catch the parade before the rodeo and to have a world famous Lehi Round-Up rodeo hamburger! (Seriously...if you haven't had one you should....they are like drugs!) The parade was amusing to say the least. There aren't many parades on the Starship Enterprise so it was definitely a novelty for Spork. They took quite a few pictures too but unfortunately a lot of them didn't turn out, but here are the ones that did!

Spork waiting for the parade to start....can you sense the excitement???

Whoo hoo for the Lehi Silver Band and their fantastic wagon!

Spork is kinda blurry, but man could this dude wail on the trumpet! Rock on my friend, rock on.

Save the cheerleader(s) save the world!!!
This was our favorite float...it's made of funnoodles! Who wouldn't like a float made entirely of funnoodles. Heck, even just saying funnoodles is great....go ahead, try it...you'll like it I promise!
Whoo hoo! Kids on bikes! I'm not sure why that's exciting, but we took a picture so here it is!

After the parade we trucked on over to the rodeo grounds to get settled in for the big show. We had our tasty hamburgers and then went off to check out all the livestock. Probably not best to eat beef and then go look at it on the hoove....I'm pretty sure this one dude knew that we'd just consumed his cousin.



When we got back to our seats we noticed a strange sight in front of us. It seems that rodents are now becoming fashionable hair accessories in Lehi. I really hope that's a trend that doesn't catch on.
(you may have to click on the picture to enlarge this and view it in all it's rodent glory)

Once the rodeo started we didn't have much of a chance to take any more pictures. We enjoyed watching all the cowboys do their thang (that is the hick in me coming out) though...that is until it started to rain.....a lot....we were basically soaked in no time flat, but all in all it was still a super fun night.

Stay tuned to see Spork go to Gardner Village next! (maybe even later tonight if I have a chance)
