We had a really fun 4th of July weekend this year. Some of our friends had been trying to talk us into going out to Tabiona for the big rodeo and team roping jackpot so that's what we did. We took our camping trailer and camped right there at the arena with our friends Jimmy and Tiffanie, Ty and Valynn, Adam and Malissa, Chip and Alayna, and all the kids. There was a bunch of other people we knew camping right at the arena as well. Bradyn didn't get in the rodeo because they didn't have steer wrestling so on Friday and Saturday night we just cheered our friends on. Bradyn did get in the jackpot though so he was busy with that during the day on Saturday.
While the jackpot was going on us girls took the kids down to the parade. It was mostly a horse, car and 4-wheeler parade and no big floats (you know how those small town parades are), but it was still probably the best parade I have been too. They threw tons of candy, beaded neclaces, balls, otter pops, bracelets and lots of other toys to the kids. My kids loaded up and had a lot of fun. There was also a booth set up at the arena with the cutest jeans, shirts, hats, purses, wallets and jewelry. So while the jackpot was going on we couldn't pass up on a little shopping and I bought myself a really cute new outfit.
After the rodeo Saturday night they had fireworks so we watched those and then after Jimmy lit some small ground fireworks for the kids. My kids loved them especially Houston. He was just constantly smiling and laughing.
On our way home yesterday we stopped at my Grandma Carolyn's in Hanna to see her. She was at church when we got there so we rode her 6-wheeler down to her bridge on the river and did a little fishing. We didn't catch anything and never even had a bite. We think it was the wrong time of day. But we still had fun. We had a yummy lunch when she got home and visited with her for little bit and then headed home from our busy 4th of July weekend.
