Since I took the Leon/Bloomfield rodeos, Mark agreed to take the 4th of July rodeo to Exira. Jayden and Mark headed to Exira and had quite a road trip. There was construction and they had to take a detour into Exira going along hilly gravel roads. THe arena looked like a pasture that had been worked up. It was a shallow dirt pen. There were only 35 barrel racers entered and we understood why. The exciting thing for Jayden is she saw one of the cowboy brothers from the television show Amazing Race, Jet and Cord. He was the stock contractor and was there with his whole family. Jayden was not brave enough for a photo, but said it was pretty cool to see him. Jayden had a decent run, but just out of the money.
As for the boys and I, it was a traditional 4th of July in Williams. This year Luke carried a banner for the legion. This is the anniversary of 1966 Veitnam veterans. Jacob drove the lawn mower with the St. Paul's church float. Then they played at the park, visited with DeDecker's and saw the Williams crowd. Jacob enjoyed working in the food stand with Grandpa selling snow cones. Luke liked running around the park with cousin Alivia. This was the first year I let him run without supervision. We met back at Mom and Dad's for a grill out before heading home.
