Bulls, Running and the 4th Weekend

David and I went to St. Paul, OR for the Pro-Bull riding Tour. I haven't been to see bull riding since we were dating. The rodeo clown was awesome. A lot of times I think they are annoying, but this guy was genuinely funny.

The hot cowboy.

We did see a lot of this.

July 3rd we headed to Eugene for the Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field. We are trying to get in all the top track meets before we leave Portland. This meet is by invitation only, so we knew we would be seeing the best in the world and we were not disappointed. There were 20 guys that ran the mile under 4:00. Sick.

Tyson Gay...does that name sound familiar?

I had just happened to park by Pre's Rock, so after the meet we stopped by where Prefontaine died. Coincidentally some graduate students were working on a documentary about folklores and they interviewed David about why we stopped by the rock. So, who knows, maybe someday David will be in the documentary.

On our way back from the meet we stopped by to help David's co-worker pack for her move. I was in charge of entertaining her son, so I managed to do that by having him "help" me mow the backyard. I know you're jealous about the black socks and shoes with shorts. Don't be. I obviously was not prepared to be mowing a lawn and had only brought flip flops.

For the Fourth, we went to a BBQ at our friends after church. I had the most massive burger I have ever eaten in my life, but somehow I managed to eat the whole thing. Go figure. It was definitely a low key 4th, but we did get to see a few fireworks.
