The West

We had a long weekend of our family being sick. It started on Friday night and by Saturday night, EVERYONE in our family was sick. We took is really easy on Sunday and by Monday we felt a little better and definetly cooped up. Kevin didn't have to work on Monday and it seemed like such a waste to not do anything. So we did something we love about living here. Drive around and look at the scenery!!

Our final destination was to Shoshoni Wyoming to a rodeo. It was a small town rodeo, but we loved it all the same. They had "mutton busting" (where little kids ride sheep for as long as they can). We thought the girls would want to join the fun, but they were both still feeling a little queasy so we opted out. It was such a fun little rodeo. I didn't realize how much I miss this time of year in the west. Rodeos and state fairs are the absolutely best!!

When we left we had the best lightning show ever. It seemed like the lightning was just dancing across the sky all the way around us. There wasn't any rain, so that made it even more cool. As always there were a ton of antelope and deer eating in the fields by the roads. I love seeing them all the time here. Yes, we have to be careful and not run them over, but I don't mind driving a little more cautious to see them roam freely. Of course, Kevin is always gauging how far off the road they are and if he would be able to get a clean shot if he was hunting. (Funny guy!)

Well, anyway, I just wanted to share our weekend because it has some of the things I LOVE about living in Wyoming and being in THE WEST!!
