Last Friday, the 3rd was the weekend of Cowboy Day's here in Uinta County. It was also Riley's first assembly day and the kids could dress up in Western Clothes. We didn't have a full outfit, but we put together a pretty good outfit, if you ask me!! He's got his beloved red cowboy boots, a cowboy hat, Wrangler jeans ( you got it right, I really bought Wrangler Jeans for my kid!! I should explain that Scotty likes to buy Wrangler's, the regular and not tight fit, to work in, because they last so long. It's this longness that I was looking for in a pair of pants, as we can't seem to make it more than three months without holes.) He's also got a Cabel's T on. I know plenty of Cowboy's that like to go hunting.
Saturday we went to the fair grounds for a fish catch. For this, the kids actually get in a WIDE swimming pool full of fish, take a plastic sack, and try to catch themselves a fish. Riley started to cry because the fish were going to attack his legs. The rodeo clown was there in the water and helped him catch a fish. Eventually Scott went in and rescued Riley, fish in bag, from the pool of Rainbow Trout. Jaycee also went to catch a fish. Jaycee didn't mind getting in the water, but wasn't about to try to catch a fish. A lady helper was there and tried catching the fish herself, even putting the fish in a bag, and tried to hand them to Jaycee. Nope, no fish for him. Of course a few minutes later, the boy FELL into the pool and got all wet. Then he too started to cry, and once again Scott went in and played the rescue man. We went home with only one fish, which is currently in our freezer. Maybe next year there will be no crying while catching fish.
Cheese!!

Right after this picture he walked over to the cement stairs coming up to the house and ate it on the first step. He got his lip real good. The gash was on the inside, so once again, he didn't have to get stitches. It looked cute for starting preschool the next day. Speaking of preschool, that post will be coming soon...........
