Oakley Rodeo

It's that time of year again that we go to parades, watch fireworks and spend time with family celebrating our nations Independence. However the traditions I hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day! Our tradition for the weekend of the 4th is to attend the Oakley Rodeo! Here's some pictures from our fun!

Here's our cowgirl...so excited!

Had to try a picture with just her hat colored...fun

Here's McKinley and "B" waiting at the cabin for the rest of the family to get there so we could head to the rodeo.

This is the stool we brought to help "B" up into our "monster" truck. Our new to us Expedition has about a 6 inch lift to it so it makes it hard even for me to get in let alone my cute almost 90 year old Grandma to get in.

Here's Carter ready to GO!

And a picture of his new cowboy boots (they have Woody on them!) Lindsay and Carter at the rodeo waiting for it to start O Say Can You See....or as Carter kept singing....."JOSE CAN YOU SEE! First the Bare Back Riding! Then comes the Calf Ropin' Then the Saddle Bronc Ridin' Next out of the shoots is the Steer Wrestlin' And we can't forget the ladies with the Barrel Racin' Then our families absolute favorite...BULL RIDIN'! the stare down....

It's so intense and we absolutely love it! Afterwards there's fireworks and a dance but we have little ones and "B" usually has someone drive her home while the rest of us drive on up the canyon to the cabin. And this weekend there's lots to do...we're adding on to the kitchen so it won't be a one person kitchen anymore! Until the next post...
