Mom's a winner!

My mom submitted her name into a contest.....and WON! This is a miracle in itself since she never wins....ever! If she submits my dad's name then he wins but her name is never chosen...until now! She won 6 tickets and meals and a hotel stay up in Star Valley Wyoming for the Super Bull! Now I hope you know that we are Big Rodeo Fans! So of course we were going! It was a long drive for a Saturday and then to get up really early to drive all the way home in time for church. But we made it and had a lot of fun. Here's our cabin that we stayed in, we put the kids up in the rafters... Can you tell Carter is so thrilled to be up that high!

At the rodeo they did a thing called Bull Poker. It was intense! They have volunteers sign a waiver (of course) and pay a fee to play and they go into the ring and sit around a table playing poker. Then when the bull charges the last one to leave his/her chair wins.

This particular bull did NOT want to play and wouldn't go near the "players" so they said that the players had to get closer to the bull. Here's the kids watching the action! Me and Lindsay with..."the winner" The kids wanted to jump into the picture! And Kinney and Grandpa (neither of which can sit still on hard benches for very long) Over all it was a fun trip and fun memories!

Until the next post....
