One of the best bull riding videos I saw was a young guy who got bucked off a bull and was unconscious on the ground and the bull was headed towards him and his dad jumped out of the stands and threw his body over his son. They ended up being ok but man what a supreme dad moment!!!

Trigger and Bullet are actually Roy Rogers horse and dog. They were on display in Apple Valley, Ca for many years until the museum closed. It’s great to know that Trigger and Bullet found a new home. Roy would be pleased. Roy and Dale were wonderfully kind and down to earth people just like y’all!

Great family trip. But for those of you that may not know, in the "John Wayne experience", the horse and dog were not John Wayne's, but were Roy Roger's. Roy lived in Apple Valley, CA and for years there was a Roy Rogers museum in Victorville, CA. After Roy and Dale died, and when the museum was closed, Trigger and Bullet were moved to Branson, Missouri in 2003. That museum didn't last long. In 2010 Trigger was sold at auction for $266,500 to a cable TV company RFD-TV

I have watched many KZfaq channels this week on this conference in Texas, yours by far is the best, bringing your family to experience this adventure. I feel it is so important for us all as US citizens to go and see what makes this country. Experience in some way the culture of different places. I see so many times Americans go on vacation to Europe but have only been to a handful of States. I have about 10 states I have not been too and I feel it helps me understand a lot about our regions and how they think about issues differently than I do. Eli's face watching the Bull Riders was priceless, I am sure all your children have wonderful memories of this trip they will keep with them forever.

Just a friendly correction on the horse and dog. Trigger and Bullet were the animals of Roy Rogers. Still a great video but missed having you here in Tyler, the Rose Capital of the World. Maybe next time. And I would go to Dallas more often if the traffic was like I saw in the video. You are right about spending the time and traveling with your family. As we missed that opportunity with our family always pitching pennies and not seeing any way to do it.
