Oh how I love a small town rodeo!! We live in Lehi so Lehi Round up was our rodeo of choice this year!! The Strawberry Days rodeo in Pleasant Grove is also a favorite!! These types of things bring back memories of my Grandpa who made summers great by teaching me to love these things and get involved!! I miss him on these days.
The girls had been so excited for the rodeo and to watch the cowboys and cowgirls! Elleigh had seen a pink cowgirl hat at Thanksgiving Point Farms and wanted it really bad. We buy her a lot of stuff...all the time....and so we decided that she could earn money if she wanted the hat. So she stepped up to the challenge and did tons of extra chores to buy the hat herself!! Well the rodeo was coming up and so we helped Sophie do some chores too so that she earned one too. We went to Ream's in Lehi to buy the tickets and they had the same hats for cheaper!! Elleigh was so excited and proud of herself that she had earned the money herself!! She was beaming when she bought it!!
So off to the Saturday night rodeo!! We got there a little early and the Rodeo Miss Utah was taking a few kids on rides around the arena!! The girls were dying to go for a ride so we handed them over the fence to her! Of course I forgot the camera.....but it was the cutest thing to see them riding this gorgeous blond horse with the queen all dressed up and them in their pink cowgirl hats!! They didn't even get scared with a stranger and big horse!! They just thought they were pretty cool!! The rest of the rodeo was a blast!! The girls loved the bulls the best. Me too! I love summer on days like this!!

Oh my gosh! They are so cute!!!
I love rodeos too Brittany! My uncle used to ride in them, and I've been to my share of rodeos as a chile, to see him ride. We love to go still. (I am sad we missed the rodeo this year.) Good times! Sooo fun that your girls got to ride with the rodeo queen. :)
