Cheyenne Frontier Days (Wyoming) – In Another Minute (Week 274)
The Cheyenne Frontier Days
in Cheyenne, Wyoming, is an annual 10-day outdoor rodeo and Western
celebration in July. It claims to be the “Daddy of ’em all” and is super
fun!
While my cousin Annick visited this week with her husband Sebastien
and their children Cleo and Liam from Brittany, France, we got enjoy the
last day of this year’s event (which includes the PRCA Rodeo Finals)
and show my French family this authentic Western tradition. And yes,
this was also my first rodeo.
While we missed out on the nighttime concerts and the Indian Village,
which closed early on Sunday, we had a blast watching bull riding,
women’s barrel racing, the bronc riding, (I have mixed feelings about
the steer wrestling), eating funnel cake, drinking Colorado beers,
trying on cowboy hats, learning how to lasso, and the carnival midway
rides.
Spending this time with my mother’s sister Hanne’s daughter and her
family is one of the most special experiences I’ve had in a long time. I
am so grateful that they came to visit us on their big USA trip and
that I have such a wonderful family. After our time in Colorado and
Wyoming, we are visiting New York City together…
