Rodeo

This fall Liv has taken up horse back riding and would like to become a rodeo princess. I can now appreciate why my parents resisted when I caught the horse bug.. It is EXPENSIVE!! Where am I going to put a horse? Should I build a barn next to the chicken coop? If I get a pony can it co-habit with the chickens. I am sure this might just push my neighbors over the edge. Luckily Liv's momma Rhonda has 5 acres and a pasture full of horses. Now all I need is boots, saddle, helmet, entrance fees, buckle.... We may have to discuss having more than one expensive hobby at a time. I thought the American Girl thing was $$. Maybe I can convince her that she just wants an AG doll horse ;)






On a side note. The Rodeo is hosted by a local church and they do a wonderful job with the kids. It is all free except an entrance fee if you ride. They have crafts, teach roping skills on the ground, there is a park, and a cook house. My kids have such a great time and they do it the third Saturday of the month. It is very laid back and welcoming.





I love this picture with Liv and Rhonda.
