Continued 24th of July Weekend

On with the pictures of our trip home.

My wonderful Mother

Bart and Stacey 

My cousin Mindy's little girls rode their family horse in the horse parade

What's the 24th of July without a rodeo! I love rodeos, I still plan to barrel race in a few. It's on the bucket list.

Dave, he looks like a unabomber waiting to run the Fairview 5k.

The race was at 6:30 in the morning. We weren't use to the cold weather in the morning, we loved it!

My Dad came to watch us run, he kept track of our time.

After the race, I am getting addicted to races. I should probably actually train for them so I can improve my time and not be at the end of the race. :)

The kids at the big parade, waiting for the candy to be thrown.

We went up in the hills to shoot the 22/Shotgun Bart's family brought.

Cosmo apparently did NOT want to stay in his kennel. The little turkey even got out when we block him in against the wall with a cooler. He just pushed his way out through the hole he had made earlier and took a nap on the couch. 

Any suggestions on how to fix the hole on the dog kennel?

Cosmo didn't fit real well under the seats in the airplane. He is a little squished, but I think he was pretty comfy. 

It was great to be able to go home and spend time with family. We played games, watched some movies, and just enjoyed each others company. I look forward to next time I get to come home and see them again. 

And a big thanks to my parents for planning the get together and providing snacks and meals. Thank you to my siblings for the wonderful meals they made as well. Love you guys!
