Little Mud on our Tires

Last weekend our local children talked Cheryl and I into renting a 4x4 Ranger.  We spent the weekend camping out in the beautiful fall colors and riding to our hearts content.  Heaton's we want you to know that we did miss you and thought about you the whole time.   Here's a short video of our Clyde Clan Campout.

Here is a video of what Cheryl and I experienced on our Alaska Adventure.  Hope that you all enjoy.

Everybody Loves a Country Girl

This past week has been Strawberry Days and with tradition that means it's rodeo time.  The Strawberry Day Rodeo is a well recognized rodeo in the country and yet has the small town atmosphere that everyone loves. 

So while celebrating Father's Day we all decided to go to the rodeo on Wednesday evening.  Taylor & Amanda, Amanda's family, and Philip & Jenny all gathered for the evening.  Our young aspiring cowboys & cowgirls were focused on the events of the evening.  They were as entertaining to watch as the rodeo itself

Now, Rachel & Amanda, you are not the only cowgirls that have participated in a rodeo.  It was determined at the very suggestion that Adyson, Allison and Lexi would participate in the famous cash cow chase.  Here is a picture of the event. Now where are they?  Hm... I'm sure there in the pic somewhere but have no idea where.

There's Lexi climbing the fence to exit the arena.  Yippee Lexi!

Well the evening was a lot of fun.  The kids had a great time and even got to participate.  If you thought the Cash Cow was a wild event, I think next year they are training for the Mutton Busting Event & I'm sure they will win the Wild Cow Milking contest.  Hmm... okay I'll settle for some more barrel racers.
