236- Cabin and County Fair

Saturday morning as soon as Kennedy came home we went up to the cabin just to check on things

We were going to go early in the morning but it was too hard to get out of bed at 5am on our day off!

So we waited until 10am. 

It was SO very dry up there. I couldn't believe it. It was just about this time last year that Chris proposed  (which he remembered and mentioned :) ) and the ground had so much more moisture then. We really need a good snow this winter or next year will be horrible. Even the aspens were completely dry. One thing besides the fire danger... if the plants dont have enough moisture and grow well the deer and elk dont grow well either. Especially their antlers. The nutrients in the food really affect how they grow.

 The pooper had tipped over with one of the big storms

 The ground was so dry you couldnt even step with out it crunching badly under your feet. We had taken some guns up to shoot but decided against it since it was so bad. 

Crusin around 'the block' 

After our drive we came home and got ready for the Box Elder County Fair

We had made plans to go with Todd and Jana Saturday night.

Now Kennedy was coming along with us, Hunter text and wanted to come too, and Derek and Ash and miss Ry. It ended up being a whole family event :)

We bought our rodeo tickets when we first got there. The lines were crazy!

Then we walked around and looked at some of the animals. Kennedy walked past this pig and the girl told her she could pet it.

She was pretty bummed that neither Dad or Grandpa Todd would buy her a pig in the auction.

After seeing the animals and the booths we went back to the rodeo grounds for dinner

We all got burgers and drinks there. Then it was time for dessert! Between all of us we ordered 3 caramel funnel cakes and I ordered one raspberry chocolate one mmmmmmm! It was amazing

We took our seats and waited for the rodeo to start. We thought it started at 7.. but we were wrong and it started at 8 so we had a little time! Kennedy was making Derek and Ash pose for a picture. She wanted them to make a heart with their hands

The rodeo was pretty good. They had some good stock. Kennedy hates the calf roping part and lectures us on how mean it is. But wants a calf... and a pony.. She wants to mutton bust and loves the bronc riding. 

The mounted posse his this adorable little cowboy who had to be MAYBE 10 riding with them on his pony. It was so stinking cute! He could keep up with the big horses and run the patterns with them just fine. 

Todd won a nice wool vest in one of the drawings. The rodeo got over about 11pm and we all headed home!
