RODEO Time

Brandon's Boss paid for tickets for our

family to go to the Ogden Rodeo.

Our family loves Rodeos.  Riley

borrowed boots from Grandma's

dress up collection. 

This picture is kind of blurry.  But it's hard

to get a picture with everyone in it.  

Funny thing is that we got there early enough

to get a good seat, or so we thought.  We missed the

small and not obvious sign that said "assigned seating"

and ended having to move. Which by then we got

crapy seats and it was so very hot!  But we still

had fun!  We saw Riley's last year teacher, Mrs. Tatro 

and the kids Dentist.  

Brandon's Boss also gave us a great

deal of money for dinner, which Brandon and I 

are to cheap to have got dinner at an expensive Rodeo

otherwise!  So the kids were grateful for that! 

After we got settled in our new seats

Brandon decided to go get dinner with the girls 

helping while Owen and I stayed to save the 

seats for Grandpa Gardner and my sister Kate and

her family.  Brandon noticed that his pockets were

empty and the money was gone.  We were not having

the best of luck.   So he retraced his steps and found

the money sitting on the ground.  No one had touched it.

So I guess we were lucky after all!

Grandpa always comes with us to the Rodeos.  

  He wears his hat and always shares it with the girls.  

We love that he always wants to come with us.  

Brandon and Grandpa really enjoy the cowboy stuff and 

use to always go horse back riding with the guys. 

Me and the girls loved the show girls.  They would

ride their horses around doing tricks.  So cool! 

My kids were troopers and we stayed all the way to 

the end to see the bull riders and the BMX bikes.

Before we headed home I snapped this beautiful picture

of the sunset with the American Flag raised high.

I loved at the beginning of the Rodeo all the honor

given to the Military Sergeants and to America. 

What a grateful moment that was.
