Granny's Birthday

What to do for Granny's birthday? Why not load up the kids and head out to the Lakeside Rodeo. We got there a little early and took a tour of the chutes. Had a little lunch and then the show began. It was about 90 so hats and sunscreen were in order...as were the ice cream floats and a cool drink of water.

We brought out the cousins for the show as well. The third event was highly anticipated. Stick horse race for kids 3 to 6. At 3 yrs and 2 weeks Cowboy Cade was a tad younger than most. But Emily had the other end of the spectrum. Here they are at the starting line...


Emily rounded the corner in a tie for first, but a late stumble cost her the win. She's the gal closest to the camera with the hat falling off. She had those boys right where she wanted em.


Young Caden on the other hand...never got out of the starting block. At one point all the kids were lined up as Cade clung to my leg. The announcer says 'wait a minute I see a young cowboy short on legs big on boots in the back row.' At which point two rodeo queens come over to escort our lil guy to the starting line. He burst out in tears like they were coming to string him up. But he sure looked good standing there with a slight tremble in his knees.


Fun day with the family. We all had a great time.
