Gunlock on the 4th

It has become a family tradition to spend the 4th in Gunlock at the rodeo!My parents used to take us up every summer for the Gunlock and Veyo Rodeo's and I have so many fun memories from it.Ryan and I met at Gunlock 7 years ago and have been going back ever since! It is soo fun for the kids and I hope my girls will have memories from it in the future!We got to see lots of our favorite freinds and family and visit, which is always great!

Chicken chasin',Boot racin', and Barrel racing kept Taytum busy this year!
She also had lots of fun playing with all her little girl cousins!Dalley,Tandy, and Hallie! They are so funny when they all get together! Thay all got cheated out of chickens, but Bronc pulled through and caught one everynight!


Fallon was easy as pie also, she just loves to be a big girl like everybody else!
This picture was taken way after her bedtime so she is a little out of it!Thank goodness Aunt Carly was ther to entertain her!

We stayed in Veyo Thursday night and got up Friday to go to the pool!We were the first ones there so we got lots of swimming in that day! Ate lots of yummy Veyo pool food and played in the creek for a little bit!


Back to the rodeo Friday for more fun!Uncle Brad put on a show in the muggin'! We ate lots of snow cones, cotton candy and nachos!After we waited all night for the ropin' to get over we drove to Cedar for the next day's festivities!
Taytum got sick in the night so we missed the parade that morning, but got a little extra sleep which was nice! That afternoon we went out to Parowan to Uncle Pat and Aunt Michelle's for a bbq and yummy homemade ice cream! Then back to Cedar to watch the fireworks! We all sat on the porch of Ryan's parents house and had a great view!

I bet the Rodeo was a blast. It looks like you guys had a good 4th. Come and visit any time. We have a lot of dirt....not much else to play in!

We took our kids to the Gunlock Rodeo this year, too. Breya cried and cried because she didn't catch a chicken. She says, "they were just too fast." It was sad, but we laughed our heads off during the watermelon/donkey thing.
