World's Toughest Rodeo

Monica got free tickets to the World's Toughest Rodeo at the Xcel in St. Paul so she invited both me and Sheila Zepeda to join her. I think that all three of us were a little reluctant about going, not really knowing what to expect. But we figured - free tickets - might as well check it out!

So Saturday night, Monica, Sheila Zepeda and I got dressed up in our Rodeo-goin outfits and headed out!

Our seats were on the 'club' level, which was almost in the nosebleed section.
Here is a view of the action from our seats.

After a little while, we decided to walk down to the lower level and try to find some seats that were closer.
We ended up in the first row!
Here are a couple pics from our new seats! You could actually smell the rodeo from these new seats! (Some nice young gentlemen offered to take our picture for us!)



After the rodeo ended, Justin Moore was performing in concert! The girl behind us told us how she scored some "Dirt Passes" for the concert. Well, apparently you can only win the dirt passes.
(A 'dirt pass' is where you get to go on to the 'dirt' in front of the stage during the concert.)


We were pleased with the front row seats that we were in, and felt that we could see the stage just fine from where we were. Then all of a sudden, the usher that was letting people onto the 'dirt' with their 'dirt passes', signaled to us and told us to "hurry up", and ushered the three of us right on to the dirt! We quickly made our way up to the stage and got as close as we could for the concert!


 

This picture was taken from above our heads in the crowd on the 'dirt'!

We had so much fun dancing and singing along! Who knew the rodeo would be such a blast?!
