Strawberry Days

We had so much fun at Strawberry Days last week. We went to a lot of the activities and enjoyed the strawberries and cream a little too much. On Wednesday we walked in the children's parade where the theme was "Dream Big". The kids were able to dress up in what ever they dreamed to be when they got older. Kelsey's was the best as a very pregnant mom with two babies. She actually had her outfit planned out for days.
After the parade we went over to the rodeo where Kelsey and Conner did the Mutton Bustin. It was hilarious. We got so many fun videos and pictures from friends that came thank you for cheering us on.
Marc told each of them that this bull was what they were going to ride in the mutton bustin. Luckily for them I had already prepared each of them for exactly what was going to happen and they know their dad well enough to know he is rarely serious.

Kelsey didn't care to concentrate on what was happening before she rode.
Conner on the other hand was showing those sheep who was boss by giving them the evil eye.Kelsey hung on for dear life but once she started sliding the sheep lost his balance and over they both went.

I really think the poor sheep was just as scared as she was.

I'm not entirely sure at this exact moment if she liked the experience but the clown was nice to console her and by the time she got back behind the gate she was grinning.

Conner lost his helmet right out of the shoot and soon had the same balancing problems that Kelsey had.

Although his sheep was a little tougher and held her upright position leaving Conner to fly head over heels into the dirt.

He thought it was the best. Next stop is the bronc riding!!

And if the pictures aren't enough here are the videos. I think I need a horse. . .
