there are 2 cowboys front and center, Rocky is the one on the right.Last night governor Palin was in Reno for a political rally. she had called and asked the pres. of the PBR (professional bull riding) to have two PBR riders come out for the event. (reno is also know to put on the "richest rodeo in the west") my cousin, Rocky McDonald (some of you know him better as Jason) was one of the lucky ones. i really had no intention of going to the rally since i voted early, but we really wanted to see Rocky since we are his biggest fans. so... i loaded up the kids, (matt was working late) and we drove down to the Livestock Event Center. when we arrived the line was forever long and it was sprinkling and it was cold. long story short, we were able to get a hold of jason, he got us in without having to stand in line, and we got to go down on the stage to help cheer on gov. palin! the kids were good sports. i was a little worried that the girls might freak out while we were on stage because we were standing for a while, but they did well. (and they were kind of hidden!) ..thank you rocky for a memorable night..
