RoDeO!

 We LOVE the Davis County Rodeo!  A Family tradition that everyone loves.  We went both nights and had a blast!

 Night one Cole came with us since his wifey was away on vacation and he was a bachelor. Good times!

 Night two was my parent's 34th Anniversary!  They are so nice that to celebrate THEY took all of US out!  I feel like something is wrong with that!  Gma and Gpa Hill came along as well, they LOVED the Rodeo. We ate dinner at Bandidos in Layton, if you haven't gone there, you should!

 2 cute cowboys :)

 At the fair they had helicopter rides.  Holy Cow!  We decided the old folks needed some excitement to keep them young and since my dad is so awesome he insisted we go for a ride as well.  It was so fun!  And only a little bit scary!  Check that right on off of my bucket list! Thanks Daddy!

 Thought this was a sweet moment I needed to capture, my dad and his mom walking arm in arm. 

 I love these cute, crazy kids!

 Grandpa standing up as we clapped for all the veterans.  SO proud of him and SO thankful for all those who serve/have served for this wonderful country and our freedoms!  THANK YOU!!!

 This is probably our favorite part of the rodeo- this amazing cowboy Calvin Amy riding his beautiful horse around while they play "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" by Toby Keith.  I've got lots of patriotism running through my veins and this chokes me up every year!  GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Later in the night Calvin was thrown off his horse while helping a cowboy escape his bucking horse.   It was pretty scary watching him lay on the floor while the medics tried to help him.  We later found out he broke 5-7 ribs, ruptured his spleen, and colapsed his lung.  We tried to go visit him at the hospital but he had been discharged so cute Kannon mailed him a picture he drew (of the above photo) with a note telling him he was the coolest cowboy in the world and he hopes he gets better soon :)

 After the Rodeo we took my Grand-folks over to the neat-o fountain in Farmington and finished off the night with a water show.

We had a fantastic weekend!  Makes me love Summer and love the USA!  Happy Anniversary to the parentals!  Love them for all they are and for all they do!  Happy Summer!

P.S. Coming soon... what happened to my knee and why I have that cute green bandage on it :)
