Wild, Wild West

Last week Danny accompanied the young men and young women to the rodeo!! Where would they hold a rodeo in Southern California?? At The Pond in Anaheim, of course! This building is so crazy to me...in the past year we have attended a BYU basketball game, a Jon Bon Jovi concert, and now a rodeo all in the same building. And of course it is an ice hockey rink as well. Here it is in rodeo form:


We recently decided that we should take the children out individually once a month so we sent Jared with Danny. He was so excited! It's really fun that he is getting old enough to stay up late and enjoy time out with us. Outside of the event, they met a border patrol agent - the event was sponsored by them! Jared took a picture with him for Grandpa.


Jared always enjoys hanging out with the teenagers! The girls were decked out as cowgirls - I should have dressed Jared properly for the night!


Interestingly enough, Jared's least favorite part was how long it went. He told me that the boys had to try and stay on the bulls for 8.0 seconds. He also told me that he really wanted to go home when he started getting tired but Daddy said they had to wait for it to end (since they had carpooled and their car was at the church!). He also mentioned that unfortunately there wasn't enough room for him to lie down and sleep. Good thing there was so much action occurring:
