OAKLEY RODEO

I love going to the rodeo. We always go to the Lehi Rodeo and this year it was double the belt buckles and spurs because we went to the Oakley Rodeo. I have no pictures of the kids at the Lehi rodeo because my 2 year old put my camera in the toilet about 10 minutes before we walked out the door. So a week later we fixed the camera and headed off to the July 4th Oakley Rodeo!
I like to get to the rodeo early so we can people watch. At the Oakley rodeo where we were sitting we could watch some of the cowboys getting dressed! It was truly a show before the show. Unfortunately no pictures were taken. But we will reserve the same seats again next year. I did get these pics of my kids at my new favorite rodeo:

Notice Oakley's hat, yes she is named after the town Oakley.

The best part was my sister and her family and my parents came with us. My mom and dad came to the Oakley Rodeo 44 years ago on a date. So this was "just like old days" minus the 2 mouthy daughters and 5 grandkids sharing their licorice and blankets.

Me and Oakley:
Can't wait till next year!

My favorite part was when the announcer kept saying, over and over "Come on Oakley!!! Let's hear it!!" and Oakley was getting exasperated :)

LOVE OAKLEY!!!! You can see my old house from the new rodeo grounds - it is just behind it.

I love Oakley, too!! Whenever we drive there we say "hey maybe we can move here and be the Oakley Cousins." If there is a rodeo that is one more reason to move there. Oh, besides getting pink Oakley hats.
