Manassa Colorado

We chose to head back down to Manassa Colorado this year for the annual pioneer day celebration. The Haynie's were pioneers that settled in the area and it is fun to go see the history and hear the stories. Joe's grandpa and grandma Haynie grew up there as well and his dad spent summers there so there are a lot of memories. We took the kids to the rodeo (which isn't close to pbr or the stock show we go to every year) but it was a lot of fun. My children are obessed with horses, cowgirls and cowboys so its always a great time.
They let all the kids run out and chase calfs that have money tied to their tails. Madison was super excited to go out there until we got to the gate then she didn't want to go until all the fun started and she was over the fence to fast and went chasing the cows!

Running after the cows
in the middle of the pen and the games are over... Now what do I do mom??

Cheering on the bulls

Caleb enjoyed himself as well. He was really interested

Yep they are brother and sister! After  long day of driving and rodeos there is nothing better than milk and a movie!
Caleb was upset he didn't have a hat so we got him his first cowboy hat while we were there. There they are at the parade.

Watching the floats not quite sure what was going on...

As I said there were a lot of firsts for caleb.
First walking
