radio bull

Last weekend we went to Watertown, and then to the Crystal Springs Rodeo in Clear Lake, SD on Saturday night.  We had a picnic supper at the rodeo grounds.  Eli was so excited to see the radio bulls i.e. rodeo bulls.  He went down where the bulls are kept and stared at them.  He loudly announced, “Testicles!” when he saw the bulls.  He recently got a bull toy, that has full bull anatomy, so we had this conversation about bulls and steers prior to the rodeo. 

We froze at the rodeo…who’d think at the end of June we’d need mittens and jackets? 

Mike got a chance to sit next to a very loud, drunk college girl(you can’t see her in this pic).  I think it kind of reminded him of his college days.

Our view from our perch on the hill.

Silas was surprisingly content sitting in the stroller.   The hills were steep and with all the people, he spent most of the night in the stroller.   He even took a little spill when Eli kicked the stroller….he’s such a trooper…Grandma grabbed the stroller and Silas came up still strapped in with a huge grin on his face.  Eli got his first cotton candy, and they both enjoyed popcorn.   

Thanks for a fun night, Grandma and Grandpa!
