Mt Sterling Stampede


Every year Mt. Sterling has a children's rodea to commemerate the founders of their cute little hamlet. This was our second year in attendance, and it was just as fun as the first time! andrea and her family invited us. Joshua and Emma both participated in the mutton bustin', and andrew and Allie raced in the stick horse races. Andrea and I both made fools of ourselves running after ribons tied to cow's tales, and of course all the kids participated in the critter chase (you catch it you keep it). Joshua caught a rooster - again - which we promptly gave away to Andrea's dad. Thank heavens! Here is a little snippet of joshua's sheep riding. It may not be that impressive, but keep in mind - he did voluntarily get onto a sheep with the intention of letting it buck and roll him. It's the thought that counts, right?

Sweet video there! Guess we should have done our filming from the other end. My dad is trying to buy rights the the picture from the Harold Journal of Emma's great tumble. Thanks for coming it was great! And as always, it's on again next year! Lucky Emma and Josh can't do the critter chase next year, I can't take any more birds . . . and since Allie is terrified of anything feathered, I only need to worry about bunnies. Looks like you had a fun hike this weekend too. :)
