Our family met up with Aunt Alice and Grandma and Grandpa Wahlert. We were headed to the Dayton rodeo. We arrived over an hour early in order to stake our claim of ground on the hillside. We had a row of lawn chairs setting on the the edge of the steep hillside. The chairs are in so tight and on the very edge of a steep fall. We grabbed a bite to eat, then settled in for the big rodeo. I have been going to the Dayton rodeo for years, since I was kid. I haven't missed many years. This was Luke's first year. He was cute as a bug in his wranglers, boots and cowboy shirt. Jacob was all decked out with his super long feather in his cowboy hat, spurs, and red wrangler shirt. He sat on a blanket on the hill so he could wiggly and roll around next to Aunt Alice. Luke went from my lap to Mark's lap the whole rodeo, but was pretty good. This was Jayden's first year that she sat in her lawn chair and watched the entire rodeo. She usually sits with cousins and plays. She really enjoyed it and it got her excited to ride her pony more. The weather was perfect and the rodeo was a good one. They had great clown jokes and the entertainer jumped his motorcycle across a truck and trailer.
