Cousins at the Ranch

One of the highlights of our visit with family, was a day trip to the Galloping Grace Ranch.  It was a perfect day, warm and cloudy with a steady light breeze.  The kids had a blast and all the adults enjoyed watching them playing 'Rodeo Games'. 

To start the event off, they offered Rodeo Clown face painting... Cari was the only volunteer from our group.

 Pep talk from Cowboy Max... They assigned teams and let all the cousins form a team :).

 GO Team Cousins!

 Jake and the double bandana hat.

 Lining up to learn about one of the events.

 The 'pig round up'... Each balloon is a 'pig', their color was yellow.

 Can you tell they won?!

 It was a wild and crazy round up!  after they captured the pigs, they got to pop them!

 Carter saved the last lonely pig to take home :).  Balloons are his thing!

 The ranch dog was a big hit.

 Horse relays

 Running races too... Go Luke, GO!

 Kyle got the award for getting the most air in his horse gallop!

 Watermelon to cool down with :).

 Enjoyed by all.

 Time to spend some time with the animals
