Okay, here’s the photo story of our weekend with a video thrown in of us roping on the 4th. I think we all had a blast and everyone enjoyed it.
The first night we all got together and watched “The Cowboy Way” in the backyard. I brought a tv and we hooked it up in on top of the water cooler and it didn’t even rain on us.
Dad was breaking in his new saddle with Granola (Canola) Oil. It still squeaks like crazy but it feels good to ride.
On the 4th we got up and went to the parade. Same place as usual, but we had a roping dummy and a deck of cards out for the wait.
After everyone got a nap or time playing the Wii at our house we all went out to the barn and roped a little. It ended up being a blast! Check out the video for our skills. I’m in the middle of the video in between my Dad and Kody roping on Buff. (Brown Horse) I headed a round for Clancey, and i can’t remember the last time we had roped together.
Can’t get enough of the sunsets here.
We headed up onto the hill to watch the fireworks and have Dad’s birthday cake. Cynthia brouht Catch Phrase and we played it in the dark. Pretty good stuff!!
Pictures were took in complete blackness so we didn’t know how they turned out till we got home.
I think they were having way to much fun at the roping in Pinetop.
It rained a couple of times so hard they stopped the roping. We had enough jackets and everything to stay pretty dry.
Clancey roped really well for how much rain we got. He actually came back high team in the short-go, but didn’t get the third steer down.
It’s good to be around family on the fourth. Last year we had to stay in the valley and didn’t get to do much outside going to a BBQ with Matt Hubbard’s family which made it all worth it. Without that it would have been pretty boring!
