Cowboy Up!

The Lake Chelan Rodeo has become a July family tradition over the years.  Even though none of us are real cowboys, we're all cowboys (and cowgirls) at heart!  Jonah was so excited this year that he asked everyday, at least three times a day, "is today the rodeo?" Everyday since he has donned his cowboy hat and ridden his stick horse through the house yelling, "Buckin' cowboy, woo-hoo!  Buck off!!"  Makes us laugh every time. 

Waitin'.

All 5 of us!

Cowboy-up!

My three guys.



Me and my babies.



Little stinker.  I asked him to smile and this is what I got.

Chicken chaser, Jonah, ran before the announcer said, "GO!"

Sittin' on the bleachers waitin' for the next
event.  Gettin' a little chilly.

 

Watchin' intently for the cowboys!

 

The grand finale--buckin' bulls!



Total amazement during the entire night.

Our exhausted little guys.  In Jonah's words, "we had
wots of fun at the radio!"

Beautiful Boat Ride

Valeri and Mark visited this summer in early July.  On their last night here, we went for an adult-only boat ride.  Our goal was to make it to Safety Harbor in order to explore the camping area.  Around Fields Point, the wind picked up and the waves were getting bigger.  Unfortunately, we only made it to 25-mile creek before the waves became too much for our little vessel.  We made a large turn and headed back towards Manson.  We did stop at a little camp area on our way home for a pit-stop and a little exploring.  Looks like lots of fun for our families sometime in the future!

Beautiful ladies of the lake, Valeri & Kalee.

Our Captain for the evening cruise, Mark. Thanks for keeping us all alive!



Beautiful view on the way down lake.

Rock a bye baby

Woke up this morning to find my baby sound a sleep in the rocking chair.  I have no idea how long he slept there, but the looked pretty comfy.  He even brought his blue blankie and his cousin's soft blankie with him for a little added comfort.

Love the toes hanging out.  

Snuggin' with blankies.
