Lehi Round-Up Rodeo

Grandma got us tickets to the Lehi Round-Up Rodeo, an event that was part of the Lehi Days summer events. It was a one-of-a-kind event, one that the boys have never done before, and one that they will probably never forget!! Grandma equipped them each with a cowboy hat and a Lehi Round-Up T-shirt (boys got white and girls got pink). They were some adorable little cowboys and girls out there watching in amazement as the horses bucked their riders right off their backs. Grandpa took care of the mouth watering snow cones that the kids were eyeing every other child at the rodeo holding. Jaxton poked his straw through the bottom of his cup and it leaked blue staining juice through the bottom as the ice melted. No doubt we were sticky, but it was all worth the whole rodeo experience!!

At one point, I was holding Baby Spencer. He had on Dillon's cowboy hat. One of the rodeo riders was riding a horse and it started trying to buck his rider off. As it was kicking and running and kicking, it kicked up some mounds of mud and sod and flicked it into the crowd. Well, Spencer just happened to be right in the perfect spot for that sod to land right on his hat. The poor little boy was so suddenly startled by the thud he felt on top of his head, he began to cry. Thank goodness for that cowboy hat!!

During the half time of the show, they brought out BMX bikes. This was sooo exciting to Jaxton especially, but all the kids too. It was sooo loud and the bikes were so fast! They got faster and faster up the ramp and then they would do a complete 360 degree circle in the air and land right side up on the other ramp to go down. It was incredible and extremely dangerous!! The kids were glued. They could not believe their eyes!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for a fun time at the rodeo!!
