Horse Days


Troy took the kids up to Cornish Utah last weekend (his sister lives there) for Horse Days. It seems that this is going to be a new family tradition because they had so much fun!

First they got to ride in the parade.

Then there was the big horse race.



Out of the four contestants Oakley took third place, we were so proud.

Some creepy guy holding Oakley, oh wait that's just Troy

There was sheep riding, calf dressing and frog catching, but I think the best event had to be the barnyard scramble. Apparently anyone in the community who has an animal of some sort that they no longer want can bring it for the scramble. After all of the animals are turned loose, the kids are set free and anything they catch they keep. Troy said there was everything from geese to pigs, even cats and puppies. This would be one of the times you definitely don't want to cheer for your kids. Can you imagine if Oakley would have come home with a pig!!
P.S. Next year we will haul your un-wanted pets to horse days for a fee of $50. heheheh!


Oh and where was Deacon during all of this?
It seems he went a little unsupervised during the trip.



So that's Horse days. I'm looking forward to next year’s!
