And they call the thing a rodeo...

I was born and raised a Colorado girl. Some of my earliest memories are going to the rodeo. I always loved going to the rodeo, it was something that always made it feel like summer. Noah won my heart by taking me to a rodeo on our first date! Every chance we get I try to jump on -to let my kids have the same fun. We were thrilled to take the kids, and go along with some of our best pals to the Strawberry Days Rodeo this summer!

The Strawberry Days Rodeo is perhaps my favorite ever….because of the STRAWBERRIES! This is really one of the main reasons to attend! Just look at this deliciousness!! Chowing down on Strawberries and cream- and a rodeo. It doesn't get much better than that!

Nothing says summer like an arena full of kids chasing a cow covered in money...

Now we all loved it, but Ronan was SO into it! He had such a blast, he was jumping and clapping "Go, GO!" and "yeehaw"! It was so cute to see him having so much fun.

Now we got to go with our friends Art/Steph and fam, and as we were walking we specifically talked about making sure to get a picture of all of us together. Of course, we forgot! :( We did get some with them though, including a darling one of Porter and Parks-
love this picture. (I don't know where the other four boys are though, sorry)

Miles even enjoyed his first trip to the rodeo!

Noah got this gorgeous picture from where we were sitting. Now that is Purple Mountains Majesty if I've ever seen it!
What a perfect way to spend a summer night!
(well next year, maybe we'll hope for a little less wind and be able to stay the whole time without a brand brand new baby getting a little fussy-all in all though, fantastic!!)
