Everyone started arriving Wednesday, July 27th and the festivities officially started on Thursday, the 28th.
The youngest three enjoyed meals in their high chair line up.
While some of the boys golfed, the rest of us went to the "horse" parade as my kids call it.
McCoy really, really, REALLY wanted to get out there with everyone else.
The weather was perfect! Misty, cool, cloudy but didn't rain. The crowds were way less than normal and it was amazing.
After the parade, we went hiking at Vedauwoo.
The sun had come out and it was gorgeous!
Brynlee insisted on climbing on and over everything...
And on walking by herself "thankyouverymuch."
A fat chipmunk that was checking out our progress.
The kids could not have loved this activity more. It made me commit to taking my kids here more often.
On Friday, we went to the rodeo. Devynee must have been worn out the previous day, because she fell asleep on Sarah's lap.
Eventually, we ended up moving up to the upper bleachers for some more space. Dan and Ronnie became the baby napping stations.
Easton cheered and danced his heart out.
Finally, it was time for the wild horse races (my favorite!).
After the rodeo, we hit the carnival for a few rides, but the clouds and skies were looking ominous, so we ended up high tailing it out of there to head home.
It was a good thing we left the carnival, but our cars did not fare any better at our house as the hail storm that showed up a few minutes later was INSANE. Biggest hail I have ever seen in real life. And yes, that is a quarter in my brothers hand.
Most windshields were cracked badly and dents were every where!
The next morning, we ventured down to the Terry Bison Ranch on the state line and went on the train ride tour. We saw camels...
and smiling faces!
And then had the opportunity to feed the buffalo! It was pretty crazy. They sure do love that food!
Finally, we had a piñata party right before everyone headed home.
