It was a bright and early morning for the kids and I on a Sunday morning. It was very cold outside when I hooked the truck and trailer and loaded the pony. Today was the Dayton youth rodeo and I was taking all 3 kids. It was a brisk morning in the 50’s and everyone was chilly. Thankfully our loyal Peepaw arrived later in the morning to help and watch. We got to the arena just before 9. Jayden was up in barrels, flags, and poles first thing. The boys also had their little kids events going on at the same time. This is where Peepaw’s help was so needed. Jake decided he was too old and did not participate. He was quite mad most of the morning as he did not like sharing his dirt toys with other kids. Luke did his stick horse race first. He was running when all the sudden he stopped and walked back with a very sad almost going to cry look on his face. I asked him what was wrong and he said he ran out of energy. That made me laugh. Next he did the goat tail untie and a dummy roping. He thought it was all super fun and he got a big blue ribbon. Jayden had a good barrel run, Dakota just wasn’t running very fast for her. Poles didn’t go so well and flags Jayden had a fast time. The youth rodeo is neat as there are so many kids competing at different levels from all over. We didn’t stay much beyond noo. Jake was so anxious to get home.
