Dayton Rodeo


 Tonight was the first night of the big Dayton Labor Day rodeo. Mark stayed home with the boys since Jake is still sick. He is starting to feel better and his tonsils look a little better. Jayden and I went to the rodeo together. Allie went by herself and found us and sat with us. She is starting college again at ICCC. I hope for the best for her. i hope that she can be driven and disciplined enough to complete school. She is going at it the hard way, commuting, working, and taking very hard classes. I would like to see her have a good future. The rodeo was fun to watch and the weather was great. New this year for the 75th anniversary, the shot off fireworks and what a display it was!! Kind of scary  several of them tipped and hot out and all around instead of up. They set them off right beside the lower cook shack  After the rodeo around 10:30 Mike and Amanda Towrey were married in the arena on horseback. It was very short and sweet and something I didn't want to miss.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
