The Dixie Round-Up was this weekend. Neal was at the station, but I decided the kids needed the Rodeo experience. So we went down to the "real cowboy store" and picked out cowboy hats. They all wanted cowboy boots, but I was afraid they would wear them all the time, so they all got a hat! I have a deep seeded dislike for anything cowboy. It makes no sense. No offense to anyone. I blame it on a blind date with a cowboy that went horribly wrong. During the parade we hopped on the back of the Studebaker and rode through the parade waving at everyone.
At the rodeo, Neal and a bunch of other people who serve the community , got to roll out a giant flag during the opening ceremonies. It was also a tribute to the 222 who served two different tours in Iraq. It was such a neat opening to the rodeo. It made me so proud to live in this community! We stayed and watched for about an hour and a half, but after taking Grant to the bathroom about four times and Landon and I discovering we were allergic to rodeos, we decided it was time to get home. It was a great day with my kids!

Yeehaw!! I wish I could have figured out which one Neal was. Did you ever figure it out?
Ahhh, that is so cute. I can't believe you let them buy cowboy hats. Are they going to mysteriously get lost in the middle of the night?
