Wild West Weekend!

We had such a fun Saturday with our friends Kevin and Becky Ward and their cute little son, Owen, from Pocatello, ID! The boys have a really fun time together and we just love hanging out with them.

Our day started with a fun trip to the Logan Aquatic Center where everyone loved cooling off in the swimming pool.

(Clockwise from top Left) Gordon had a blast in the water!-- Chris and Tom sliding down the twisty waterslide-- The men and the babies-- Whee! Look at Chris going down the big slide!


Later that evening, we drove to Preston, ID and went to "That Famous Preston Night Rodeo". A parade is held each night before the rodeo and the rule is that participants should throw candy. Needless to say, that part was a big hit with the kids!

Tom waving to a parade entry-- Kids scrambled to grab as much candy as possible-- Chris had to keep Gord on a short leash!-- Poor little Tom got pelted with a tootsie roll. I guess that's the price you pay...

We left Gordon and Owen with a babysitter, and the four adults and Thomas spent the rest of the evening at the rodeo. We enjoyed famous "rodeo burgers" and had a blast watching the real cowboy action! Our favorite parts were "bull-dogging" (cow wrestling!), Barrel-racing, and, of course, Bull Riding! We had so much fun that we plan on making this Western adventure a tradition!
