Day at the Rodeo

It’s the start of our summer holiday and we are off camping. Today we checked out the local rodeo. We’ve never been to a rodeo before but we had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Shame that we didn’t think about the sun until it was a few hours tonight. All of us are very burned today especially daddy.

This explains the unusual positioning and staring from various members of the family. Hopefully few years will have a laugh when we look back on photos.

Farm day lambs

Both the lambs from the kid’s calf club day have grown so much. No longer able to pick them up, but at least they are still completely tame and friendly.
