Rodeo weekend

The weekend that seemed like we had nothing going on became a whirlwind of activity.   It’s rodeo weekend.  We started out watching some softball action where Quincy’s team took in KC Piper and Baldwin.  They didn’t win either game, but Quincy played well and did some time at shortstop and 3rd base.   She also had a few really great hits!  

We knew that Colin was coming down to help Mallory install some new flooring.  He talked Cameron and Lauren into helping him.  I think it was possibly a bigger project than they anticipated. However, might I just say it makes me incredibly proud that my kids are willing to give up part of their weekend to help each other!   

Of course, they have not just done floors.  Jim and Andrew and the lake board held a crappie fishing tournament.  Lauren, Colin and Cameron all fished in it.  Sadly, Andrew’s grandmother passed away, so he and Evelyn didn’t get to be there. Jim said they had a lot of people enter and a lot of crappie were caught.  

Quincy and Preston had to work in the CWF booth at the Rodeo selling hats, ice cream floats, popcorn and a few other things.  It was busy, so I hope it was successful!   The other kids all had fun attending the rodeo.  I think after such a long time of cancelled events, everyone in town attended this fairboard special event, and it seemed really busy!  The fairboard does a good job for the kids and I hope that they made a lot of money on this event! 

We are spending Sunday trying to catch up, starting ball practices for the younger kids, and eating ribs that Andrew cooked on his new smoker!
