Giddy Up and Rodeo

As I may have mentioned, the boys both competed in the Greeley Stampede Rodeo yesterday. Adam was in the stick horse rodeo which consisted of roping a calf, barrel racing, and the best 8 second ride. The competition was slightly tweaked so the kids could understand and not lose focus. Here are Adam's rodeo pics:

Adam did awesome!! In my opinon, he was the best overall cowboy and put up a challenge for the other 29 competitors... He won a "Bucky" bobble head as a trophy for having the quickest barrel race.

Casey competed in the mutton bustin during the regular rodeo. There were 10 kids in his competition, with only one winner for the longest ride. Casey unfortunately did not take the glory in this event, but did his best and now has a "Justin Mutton Bustin" buckle to show for it.

After the rodeo, the boys went on some carnival rides, then off to supper and bed. The cowboys rested up from the long day and we'll recover until the next ride. Happy Trails!
