Florida TETWP Rodeo


Yes, we planned it. We all decided to wear pink to the rodeo tonight, but of course it was Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night. Everyone looked great while showing their support.

We did some silly things all week long in our spare time. After air boating, we went to Heather Hall, Miss Rodeo Florida's house for lunch and tested our strength and balance. We're cowgirls though; of course we could do it. Heather's mom made the best homemade salsa in the world. Thanks for feeding us so much during the week!

Florida Airboating




This morning we went air boating on Cypress Lake with our tour guide Dale. It was a lot of fun. We saw a couple alligators on the trip. This alligator in the picture above was 11 feet long. Once again with the cold weather they have had in Florida, the wildlife is not acting normal. Usually the alligators won't let you get too close but right now they are lethargic in the cold weather and really just want to find a place in the sun. Our boat was basically right on top of the back half of this alligator and he didn't even move while Miss Rodeo America, Kelly Jackson reached down and touched him.
