Oakley Rodeo Weekend

This weekend we went and stayed with Marcus' family up at their cabin near Oakley.  We met Dave and Marie at Gateway Grill in Kamas and had a delicious dinner before we headed up to the cabin.  There was no highchair for Asher so he got lucky and got to play with grandma and grandpa and eat rolls while we waited for our food.

The weather was beautiful.  It was sunny and nice but had that cool, crisp mountain air.  We rode the four wheelers and Asher rode in the side by side with grandma and grandpa.

We stayed up late talking and had so much fun with everyone.  We were sad Matt and Marilee weren't able to come because of sick kids, but had fun with Marcus' parents, Scott and Julie, and Laura and Phillip.

We went to Smith and Morehouse to go off a rope swing.  Sadly it got stormy and so we headed home.

We went back up the next day and Scott went off the scariest, probably most dangerous rope swing ever.  We all realized that so the rest of us just floated around in tubes a little bit and jumped in the ice cold water.

Friday night was the Oakley rodeo and the main reason for the trip.  It didn't start until 8:00 so I worried about how Asher would do, but he absolutely loved it.  He was completely captivated by all of the animals and just loved watching them.  When it first started he couldn't focus on one thing and his head was bouncing all around watching all of the different horses and riders.  He watched almost the entire rodeo, and alternated between that, watching the kids behind us, or playing with his aunt Laura.  At the very end they had fireworks and Asher was mesmerized.  He would stare up at them, then point, and say "ohhh..."  It was so cute and so fun to watch him take it all in.
