Strawberry Days

All of the kids doing the Cash Cow.

I have NEVER seen this many
kids doing it before.

I felt bad for the cows.

For the past 5 years that I have known Justin, all he talks about leading up to summer is the anticipation of Strawberry Days and the rodeo. His tradition with his friends had been to go to all 4 nights of the rodeo. They usually made friends with the rodeo clown and just hung out all week. On the Saturday of that week, Justin would go to the parade and then go straight to the rodeo grounds to bbq, play football and then go save their seats for that nights rodeo. Well for one reason or another this year, that didn't happen. We only went to the rodeo 2 nights (Justin didn't even want to do that but we persuaded him) and then Saturday only did the parade. It was weird to not do what I have become accustomed to, but fun nonetheless. It was Sophia's first rodeo and the rodeo lost it's luster for Broc within the first half hour. (He wanted to follow his cousins around. Thanks Jordan for watching him for a bit and letting him hang out with you guys.) Summer is officially here!! (On a side note: Friday night Justin was part of the act at the rodeo. We knew the clown from a few years ago, so Justin got volunteered again. I wish my camera had more memory so I could have gotten iot all. He did a survivor type deal with a dance competition, a hula hoop contest, jump rope contest, and a relay race deal. HILARIOUS!!
