Today Jayden and Jacob participated in a Jonny Hopkins Tuff E Nuff rodeo. The rodeo has barrel racing and miniature bull riding. Some of the bulls are not much larger than a dog and act like a big pet. They wobble out and trot a little for the youngest kids group. There are all different ranks of bulls. In barrel racing, there were several age groups. The rodeo is all about the kids. They have a grand entry where all the kids names are announced as they enter the arena. Jacob has finally learned how to use two hands when barrel racing at a lope and can lope now without holding the saddle horn. Next he needs to practice going tighter around the barrels. Jayden was having a pretty good run,but knocked the third barrel. It was nice for me as I got to sit in a chair and watch without having to be in the arena helping. I even got to take pictures, so I took lots. It was a nice day, warmed up to 70’s. Without a breeze, we were plenty hot. Back home, Mark and I rode horses and Tony roped the hot heels with Mark. The boys spent another night with Grammer and Po and cousins Maggie and Jaynie. They love any and all cousin time.
