Lincoln, Montana

If you recall the Fourth of July adventure we had in Lincoln, Montana, you might remember the rodeo that we went to on Saturday.  The main event was the Ring of Fire, a gladiator competition of sorts, that involved about eight men standing in a ring in the middle of the arena as a pissed off bull tried to destroy each of them.  The last man standing in the white ring was declared the winner and split the pot of money with the equally deranged person from the audience who bid on them to be the winner.

Nate captured this video of what might be the closest thing our society will ever witness that mimics what the Romans did 2,000 years ago with gladiators and wild animals:

At the beginning of the rodeo, Jerry released his racing pigeons to the Star-Spangled Banner:

The kids of Lincoln had to get involved, too, so here's a sequence of the Chicken Scramble (6 chickens, 50 kids...catch a chicken and you get to keep it):
On your mark, get set...

Go!

  2. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
    and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
    hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
