Welcome to my life...Life with Cheryl. It's all about joy, laughter, family, and love, and the adventure of it all! (And, guess what? I'm writing it all down!)

Fun With Mechanical Bulls (or: Something I Never Imagined I'd Do!) Yep, on my list of things I'd never really expected to do in life was "ride a mechanical bull." But, wouldn't you know it? Here's photographic evidence that I did, indeed, do it. On a New Year's trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee with another family, all of the younger members of the group (from 9 to 13) decided to ride a mechanical bull. After signing waiver forms for McKenna and Delaney, I decided it looked too fun to pass up. I had flasbacks of Debra Winger from "Urban Cowboy." Surely it couldn't be too hard! I should have been a little worried when I saw that I was the only person on the list to ride it who was over the age of 23! But no . . . I wanted to be the "fun" adult, I wanted to be the adult who actually gave into their urge to do something I would have done when I was 15 (Note: none of the other three adults on the trip even had an inkling to do this!). How did it turn out? Let's just say that muscles I didn't even know I had hurt for a week after this little adventure! I gripped that bull so hard with my thighs (I was told it was the only way to actually stay on) that I must have pulled something. (I walked like a real cowboy for about a week afterwards.) At one point after being bucked off, I lay on the ground wondering what everyone would think if I didn't jump right back on (you got three "rides"); all I could do, though, was laugh and jump back up to try again! Being 37 isn't always what it's cracked up to be! But, given the chance, you should definitely try a go at this! I promise--the pain does where off (eventually!!)
