Saturday May 28 - Sunday May 29 - Memorial day Weekend Part 2 - The Rodeo

So the second half of the day and the next day were dedicated to Rodeo. The rodeo that Spray puts on is fantastic! The animals are good, the cowboys and cowgirls know what they are doing, the entire rodeo runs nicely, and the best part of all is it has the small town mentality. It is very family integrated. They hold a kids foot race in the arena every year and every year there is over 50 kids running from the grand stands to join in. Out of the 2,000 or so pictures that Janessa took of the rodeo, I picked some of the best ones. Enjoy!
Daddy and his little buddy Silas


Zachary got to help in the chutes this year, he absolutely loved it!






This young man finished his run and knelt down in the arena to thank God for his protection. 

 Sunday May 29, the Spray Assembly of God organizes a church service at the rodeo grounds every year for this event. So we usually go to that, then rodeo starts again!
During the church service all the animals are loose in the rodeo grounds, its truly amazing to see these active "crazy" animals so calm and being well taken care of!
 First event of the day was mutton busting!
This young lady told her dad that she was riding her sheep all the way to the end of the arena...and she did!

My little escort for the day, Joel and I having fun with Janessa's camera

The future ranchers!
