Silver Spurs Rodeo is becoming a tradition :)

If we even mention a rodeo the kids go running to get their boots and hats :) It's one of the 2 times in the year that we get to pretend we are cowboys and pull out the duds...the other time is next month when the church ranch rodeo happens! The Silver Spurs Rodeo was a blast last year and this year it didn't disappoint!

Emma was a little moody in the above picture so I made my little cowgirl pose for her own smiling picture :)



And here is Gavin in true crazy Gavin form :) He is always cracking my up!


OK the next pictures I don't think you will be able to make out what they are of very well...but this was the funniest part of the rodeo! The clown was hilarious and at one point he brought out the "Ghost Riders". They were these 3 sheep dogs that had saddles on their backs, and on the saddles were MONKEYS! We are talking real live monkeys! They were herding these rams into a pen and it was the funniest thing to watch. They were holding on tight as they were getting bounced around. Talk about funny stuff! I wish I had a better picture! The kids have been BEGGING lately for a dog. So after the rodeo Emma says "Well now if we get a dog we HAVE to get a monkey!" Ha ha!




Oh yea I just found this picture off their website...










After the rodeo we hit the fair and the kids had a blast on the little rides. What a fun night!




Isn't this picture so dang cute with Gavin looking like a little trucker in his little cowboy hat!???!!!

WHAT A FUN, FUN NIGHT, ALL YOU LITTLE ROSES!!!! I AGREE - A MONKEY WITH A DOG WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR FAMILY! WAIT - WOULD A MONKEY STAY IN A FENCED YARD WITH HIS BEST BUDDY, THE DOG?
