Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! We went to the Gunlock rodeo last night, it is a family tradition. I don't think I have ever missed a year without going to the rodeo. My Grandpa Connie hitchhiked home from California when he was in the Navy to come to the Gunlock rodeo. My dad told me last night the rodeo was started in 1945 and I bet Grandpa has been there every year. I am pretty sure dad has gone to the rodeo every year of his life too. My boys love the Gunlock rodeo, Preston must have asked Gavin or I 100 times yesterday if it was time for the rodeo. Landon rode a calf and got dumped on his head, (which I missed on film) both boys chased chickens, ate cotton candy and sno cones, caught frogs, got dirty and loved every minute.  Addie on the other hand was wondering where in the world we were, and why we were staying until midnight! Visiting with family and friends is what I love most about the rodeo. I know the rodeo itself is not that entertaining, but if it is the 4th of July I must be in Gunlock!
