PBR Enterprise Rent-A-Car Invitational">Bull Riding: The PBR Enterprise Rent-A-Car Invitational
On Sunday we went to the PBR Enterprise Rent-A-Car Invitational at the Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis. We were so excited that Bull Riding was coming to town– we being my parents, my siblings and me. My dad and younger brother had been before but this was the first chance for the rest of us. All of us were sure that the kids would love it! Turns out the kids did love the opening ceremonies and all of the pyrotechnics. They were excited about being there in general: the bulls, the horse, the man on the horse with the rope, the bull riders and the food vendors. It started to all go south when they didn’t get any cotton candy (because no one in my family is paying $9 for it.) Then they had to sit still without kicking the seats in front of them. Then they didn’t get any balls that were shot into the crowd (chances were slim– there were not that many). Then they were still expected to sit in their seats without kicking the one in front of them. It was just too long for them. Two of them fell asleep… three if you count my mother. She said if was because H and S were so cuddly but it was loud and, Hello! there was bull riding going on.
It may have been too long for the little ones but the other 5 of us loved it. We collectively held our breath every time they opened the gate– watching the clock slowly, hopefully click to 8. We were disappointed when they didn’t make it and out of our seats when they did. I don’t know how they do it! I don’t know why they do it. It is something to see! I love how proud the bulls are when they trot off victors. I don’t know how they get health insurance. If we get a chance to go again next year we’re going… without the little ones or my mother.
Finally, a special thank you from all 10 of us to the unnamed guy from Scottrade for upgrading our seats!!
