4th of July...Gunlock Rodeo...Veyo Pool

We kept with tradition and went to Gunlock again over the fourth! Thanks Carl and Lisa for letting us bombard your house once again! We went up Thursday afternoon and stopped in Mesquite for treats, then over the hill to the rodeo! Ryan mugged, and roped and I ran barrels all three nights! Tater decided not to ride her horse this year, but she was all about catching a chicken and the boot race!She was unsuccessful in both, but ready for the next night! Fallon was all over the snow cones and nachos! She had three just on the first night! After the roping we made it home to Veyo at about 1:30 am and crashed.The next morning we headed to the pool for some relaxation! Ate fries, onion rings and ice cream- so healthy, and swam all day! Back to the rodeo! No chicken again!This night I think Taytum was actually the
s l o w e s t one in the boot race! She was just coming back when the second group of kids went out! But she was smiling!!!I hit my first barrel on Max and that was frustrating! I should have known not to ruin a good thing by running in that narrow sucker of an arena but oh well, it was fun! Another late night after the roping. Saturday morning Ryan loaded up with the boys and went to Minersville to rope. We stayed and planned on going to the pool again, but it got so busy and crowded we decided to hang out at the house! We went and visited Shelbs, went to the Merk for a pop, drove up to Pine Valley and came home and took good naps! Last night of the rodeo, Ryan was late getting back so he didn't mug, But we had success in the Chicken Chasin'!!! Tater got her a nice red hen! ( maybe Bronc helped her a little, maybe mom slipped Bronc some $ to help her a little,shhhh!)We threw it in the trailer to surprise daddy later! Ryan won a bunch in Minersville and a little in Gunlock so that made it a good day! We left late that night and went back to the nice warm desert heat! We had a special occasion to get to in Vegas the next day! Our new little niece Addison was getting blessed! It was a long and busy weekend, but that's how we like them!
