Geoff's parents, lovingly known as Mormor and Poppop to the grandkids, took the girls to the Auburn Rodeo yesterday. Auburn is a fabulous small town. The people are salt of the earth. And one-in-three own a cowboy hat. It was only fitting that the girls go to their first rodeo while here. They loved it. Adele emphatically exclaimed it was the best outing she had ever been to. I wanted her to think more critically; I asked if it was better than the Monaco Circus, or Carnival in Venice. Without hesitation...YES! Deep down in Adele's heart she is a true cowgirl.
While the girls were in their big-buckle heaven Geoff and I went on hiking on a nearby trail and had some uninterrupted conversation. Thank you to Mormor and Poppop who provided us with a perfect day...on their anniversary!

The girls had so many stories to tell when they got home, of bucking broncos, silly clowns, wild bulls and drill team beauties. They all picked a female rider and competed through her. They came home and got out all of Adele's Breyer horses and re-lived the afternoon.
