Church Ranch Rodeo 2011

We go to the Church Ranch Rodeo all the time but this one is one we will never forget...LUKE CAUGHT ONE OF THE PIGS!!!! Every year he tries and every year he comes back to the bleachers feeling defeated and to make himself feel better he says "It's only the ranch kids that ever catch them". Well tonight I don't know what got into him, but he was determined. Maybe it was because he looked like one of the "ranch kids", maybe he has just grown up and overcome his fear of catching livestock, or maybe he really wanted one of the Snickers candy bars that they won if they caught a pig...I don't know but it was exciting! And of course my camera couldn't capture the moment :( So these dark photos are of Luke dragging the little pig back to the trailer by one leg. (It doesn't help that it was a black pig)


It was a fun night!

TEARY!!! He is so cute. He must be a Rose, because I think every single one of us felt that defeated feeling at the rodeo in Park Valley every year.
