Wed. morning, Evan called and said, "Pack up...we're going to Snowflake!" We got to go for the Pioneer Days celebration and Ev's 10 year class reunion (what an old fart!). We loved seeing family and going to all of the fun events. The cool thing for me was watching the rodeo in the announcer's booth since Bernie and Vicki help out with the Snowflake Rodeo.
Grandpa and Hyrum coming back from checking out the chutes. (Hyrum is looking at the John Deere tractor in the background).
Bernie (Ev's dad) opened the chutes for the broncs and the bulls. I thought it was scary...he didn't seem to mind.
Grandma and Hyrum up in the announcer's stand. Do you see the cookie??? That's what grandmas are for.
Here's the bull that Evan let in through the gate. His job was pretty scary as well. If he opened the gate and the rider was still "hung up" in the ropes, the rider would get hurt. If he didn't open the gate soon enough and the bull went after the riders or the bull fighters they could get hurt. Complicated, I know.

Watch it with the "old fart" business. Brian and I would have had 10 year reunions to attend this year had we been close enough to attend.
I just had to give you a hard time.
Oh fun! I love rodeos. It looks like you all had fun.
