Yeehaw!
This weekend we were off to Morris, MB for the Manitoba Stampede.
My BFF from high school days married a bull fighter and now they have two boys...they spend their whole summer on the road, but this weekend is the only pro rodeo in MB, so the only weekend convenient for both our extended families to get together (our parents are best friends, too, and both from MB - we all pulled our campers there and parked right behind the bleachers in the infield). I look forward to weekends like this as it brings back many memories of growing up with horse shows, rodeos and fairs. It was definitely a weekend full of good friends, family & fun!
G & G were so excited to take the boys to their very first rodeo (well first one that B could really understand what was happening, at least). B soaked it all up, loving every minute of it! I was amazed how still he sat for the rodeo performances two days straight, and jumped right on the midway rides all by himself (no fear in this one). As for the little guy - he cooperated pretty well, making rodeo time naptime and just chilling (thanks to big cousin) while big bro had a chance to be an adrenaline junkie (if you can call kids rides that, lol). Momma's fav part was the sitting around - visiting and giggling, and watching B with his G&G taking it all in. I'm so glad we ventured out on the road again for this weekend.
Thanks to our rodeo friends for making it such a great weekend...we haven't seen you in FAR too long and so enjoyed our time with you :)
D-man: you make a great sheep fighter (I bet you follow in your Daddy's footsteps) and B-man: we can't wait to see you competing in the timed events one day!
Let's not leave it so long for a repeat!
