Awesome Time At Frontier Days

It's the Daddy Of Them All!  This is what they call the huge rodeo otherwise known as Cheyenne Frontier Days.  I took the kids up the weekend of July 24th to visit my folks and we enjoyed some of the festivities.  It was a blast.  Here's a slideshow of some of the sights, a lot of them are from the parade...manure and all!



Andrew was all ready for the occasion!

Yee Haw!!!!

We drove up to Cheyenne after my call shift on Friday night, spent the night and enjoyed a breakfast made by cousin Brian before heading out to the Parade.

My Mom is recovering from major back surgery and really hung in there.  Here's us waiting for the parade to start. 

Mom had to wear her back brace.  (BTW, this is really how my stylish, fabulous Dad dresses now days.  Isn't he handsome?)

We went to the parade, saw the indian dancers, shopped in the indian village, and high-tailed it to the rodeo.  I loved every single moment of the rodeo!  That was good enough excitement for the day.  Rachel bought a pretty little beaded necklace as a souvenier.  The boys?  Typical boys.  Andrew a coyote skin (just the face...eeww) and Adam got a wooden toy crossbow (that really works).  Ahh, the joys of bringing up boys!

Here's some cool stuff we saw.

She's the princess of what?  Hmmm...  Well, congrats to her.

This is Miss Frontier.  Rachel was so excited that there were "Queens" in this parade, and even more fired up that this young lady waved at her.

On Sunday we went to hear my Dad preach and enjoyed his church family at Sonrise Church of the Nazarene.  And took some time to celebrate the boys' 11th birthday before heading home.

Love you guys!

Anyway, thanks Mom and Dad.  We all had a great time.
