We went to the Days of 47 Rodeo last night (except for Gannon). It was a lot of fun! It was interesting to hear what each child's favorite part was. Of course Remi loved the bulls and bucking broncos, but Avrie surprised me saying that she liked the down roping the best. (When they rope the calf on the horns, throw him down, and tie his feet) Not what I would have expected from a girl. She also loved the the man who did the roping tricks. He was really impressive. Maddox liked that fireworks at the beginning. :) He kept asking throughout the night when we would see more fire.

Here are a few picture highlights of our night.

That looks like lots of fun! My kids would LOVE that, the'd seriously be in shock the first half hour because they have never seen anything like a rodeo...you've motivated me to google it and take them to one around here.

How fun! I love that Avrie like the roping part of the rodeo...just wait until she is just a little bit older, and she will tell you her favorite part was the COWBOY that was roping the calf! It sounds like everyone had a great time!
