We took the grandchildren to the rodeo in our hometown.
Yee-haw!
We stopped by the farm first. On the way, Papa told the girls stories about growing up on the farm.
Indie ran to welcome us.
Al's brother and wife usually work the rodeo, but this evening they were celebrating a family birthday so we didn't see them. Too bad! We did see a few school mates though.
We like to sit on the east side. It means looking into the sun - but only for a while. But we are much closer to the action!
The rodeo began with prayer,
the Pledge of Allegiance and
The Star Spangled Banner
LOVE!
Felt like the "old days", when those things were still much respected.
See how close we are to the action?
Those clowns are heros to those cowboys!
The little kids got to ride sheep.
Barrel racing
He jumped over the bull!
It has been 3 years since Sophia moved to Wisconsin. As we walked to the car she exclaimed "I had forgotten how fun a rodeo is!"
