This weekend was another annual church event—the bike rodeo. This
time of year, the weather can be absolutely perfect, or it can be hot and
humid. This year was the hot and humid year, and it doesn’t help that everyone
is wearing boots and denim! Thankfully, the clouds covered the sun every once
in a while and there was a slight breeze so we did get a little relief.
The kids, however,
did not mind a bit. This was Brooke’s first year doing the “real” competing on
her tiny bike with training wheels. I’m not sure if getting pulled through
the grass on the bike by the clowns (since she couldn’t get any traction) really qualifies, but she did go
home with a few ribbons and my little city girl won first place in the sling
shot competition—that’s my girl! ;)
Joe played, rode horses, panned for "gold" and raced in “For Little Bear”
where the smaller kids spend their day. Even though Nathan isn’t it his class,
he was able to play in there as well and loved it! It’s crazy to me that I
don’t really have a baby anymore—I have 3 little independent kids!
It’s always a great time and so fun seeing
everyone in their “cowboy” gear—even if it’s just a plaid shirt and jeans. We
all bring yummy potluck dishes and a man in our church smokes his famous
brisket for everyone. We’re so thankful for our hard working and dedicated
clubs leaders who put so much time, effort and money into making this day run
smoothly and tons of fun for the kids!
Today it was back to school, cleaning and grocery shopping. Hope you all had a great weekend and start to your week!

I can't get over Nathan on that horse! When did he get so big??!! Joe looks adorable in his cowboy gear, and of course Brooke looks gorgeous as usual! They look like they had such a good time!
This looks like SO MUCH FUN, and I love how modest everyone was despite hot, humid, and play! :) But Momma, I have to say, it looks as though your little cowgirl needs the next side up in bikes! Lol Brylie just had to get a 16" a few months ago. I was trying her out on all the 14" ones, moving her up from her 12", but the associate pointed out that she needed the 16". It was kind of a sad moment, but he was right. And after getting the right size, she learned to ditch the training wheels ASAP. Anyway, maybe just the pic gives the illusion that it's too small. Your baby boy has really, REALLY changed a lot recently! Big boy now!
