Rodeo

We attended the PRCA Rodeo at Brookings over the weekend.  Alex, our 5 1/2 year old, went on his first boot scramble.  There were about 12 kids, 5 yrs to 8 in the rodeo arena.  Take off your boots, walk with the clown to the designated start point.  When the clown says Go!, run down, find your boots, put them on, and run back.  Alex got one boot, another boy got Alex's 2nd boot, so Alex put the other boy's on, and away they ran.  The parents did not discover the wrong boots until all the kids were sent back to their seats, but they made contact at the announcer's stand, so all was well.  Alex had fun, and is ready to do another boot scramble.
