Lynden Rodeo

This weekend was the Lynden PRCA Rodeo at the Fairgrounds. I was on the Aid Crew Saturday night. It was an exciting Rodeo. Here are a few pictures, sorry they are a bit dark.

NWWFair

I worked in the First Aid booth a lot at the Fair this year. We went to the Demolition Derby as a family, Roy and I had a date night at the Fair Tuesday night, and we took the kids Saturday to see the animals and Roy and Carson had tickets to see the Monster Truck show. For some reason I didn't take very many pictures. But I did get a picture of the kids on the hay for Roy's Mom, she likes us to do this as a tradition. My battery was dying and the kids were not wanting to sit still, so these are the best I was able to get!


Here they were smiling, but they were looking up at daddy.

Demolition Derby

Monday evening our family went to the Demolition Derby at the Fair! It was really good this year. The kids had a great time!

Before the grandstands filled up, I took a few pictures of the kids.


Gracie was having a hard time sitting still.

The result:


The car was so jammed under the bus they had to use a forklift to lift up the bus and push it away from the car.

More crashed cars:

Carson and Roy:

They also do a truck heat, there was a rollover! It was awesome!!!


The Main Event!

Company picnic at Hovander

Sunday afternoon was the company picnic for Roy's work at Hovander Park. They had someone who paints faces there, so, of course, the kids got their faces painted. Carson got a dinosaur and Gracie got a tiger striped heart.




They gave all the kids a bag of goodies which included bubbles. Here's Gracie blowing bubbles.

My Sleeping Beauty

Gracie was sleeping so sweetly with her stuffed animal under her arm.

I couldn't resist taking a picture!

Rolling A Youth Ranch

Once a month my work takes the children of the residents to Rolling A Youth Ranch out on the May Road off of Halverstick Road. During the summer months the moms come too. Last night we went early for a hot dog roast and my boss said I could bring my kiddos. They had a blast!!!

They have donkeys. This is Gracie helping pull one closer to pet. This one's name is Shrek.
