Cowboy Time





Ryan had a regional meeting in the exciting town of Snyder recently. On Saturday, we met him there for a 'cowboy' experience. His regional leader is a lot of fun to be around and enjoys lots of rodeo activities. He set up a fun day for the families to participate in a little company rodeo! Well, I am proud???, embarrassed???, to say our family came home with no awards! In fact, I believe I was the only person to show up in capri pants and flip flops! (my parents will be very embarrassed of me) Our kids were the only ones who showed up in shorts and tennis shoes! Most had on more cowboy type attire. I must say our boys do have such clothing. For some reason, it just never crossed my mind to have them wear it that day! Yes, I did know it was going to be a rodeo. I did not dress myself or our kids appropriately as you can tell from the pictures. Oh well, we did have fun, even in flip flops! Ryan did participate in some event where he had to throw a calf down and grab a ribbon. He claims he had the fastest time and will receive a buckle proving his 'championship' at our summer meeting....we'll see! I missed his moment of glory...I had headed to the house!
I am not sure what is funnier - Marci trying to help Hudson with the goat running around (notice I did change to tennis shoes!) Ryan trying to help Rylan with roping!!
