Rodeo Roundup    

Little Man's penchant for all things cowboy got a boost recently ...

A sweet young mom recently invited us to the rodeo in her hometown of Plymouth.

Can you say "Giddy-Up!"?

It was our first time going to the rodeo ...

and the cowboys AND cowgirls were amazing -- 

particularly because they were ONLY IN HIGH SCHOOL!

These teenagers impressed us with their riding...

roping...

and round up skills ...

And talk about TRUE GRIT:

You couldn't help but cringe watching them get tossed around like rag dolls.But oh, the admiration!  What these kids were able to do showed hard work, determination, perseverance, courage -- all the stuff that built this country! Gotta love it!

And the kids ... 

They had a great time, of course!
