Scott + Bree: Rodeo

My family has always gone to the Cassia County Rodeo in Burley, ID since I can remember. It is one of my favorite summer traditions. It brings out my inner country-girl! This year was a bit bitter sweet because it was Goldie's first time, but Scott was in New Jersey for work so we really missed him. Goldie LOVED the animals. She would go nuts every horse or cow we saw. She also really loved the fair food.... tater tots, maple bars, snow cones, scones.... She was in heaven, and would beg for tastes of everyone's food, even strangers! We also go to the 4H auction and watch all my Idaho cousins show their dairy heifers. It is so fun! I actually love watching, the auctioneer sounds just like they do in movies or something.

Not only did we go to Idaho for the fair, but it was also my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary! So all my mom's siblings planned a surprise party for them, and we actually pulled it off! We arranged to have the stake president meet with my grandparents and while they were at the meeting the whole fam decorated their backyard for a BBQ. It looked like a wedding! We had hamburgers, Uncle Matt's homemade fries (the best), cotton candy, liquid nitrogen ice cream, and homemade root beer! My grandparents have accomplished so much in their lives after getting married at only 17. They have beautiful farms, and feedlots, and a love that is seriously the cutest. I am so grateful for their examples. They are two of the most Christlike people I know. We love you grandma and grandpa!
