4th of July

  We have lived here in the area since 1976 and in this house since 2003. We are within walking distant to a rodeo, yet we have never gone to it. this year we decided it would be fun to go on the 4th of July. It was a beautiful day in the 80's with a nice breeze. We also thought it would be another great new experience for the granddaughters to enjoy. Four of the girls seemed to enjoy it, but our dear Kylie was asking when it would be over. It wasn't her thing. She was a trooper, though. She only asked once and sat there without complaining.I really enjoyed the patriotic moments with the many different special flags flown.

We had reserved seats that had a great view of all the activity. The rodeo clown had a ball he would throw into the crowd. Andrea caught it one of the times. I enjoyed going, but have to admit that I really don't have the desire to go again. There is so much time between each event that it is hard to feel very excited about it.
The moments that do have excitement are such fleeting moments that they are easy to miss.
