Ridley Rodeo

High School Rodeo for my cousin, Kate.
We attended with my grandmother and the kids enjoyed playing with her for a day.

Bull Riding:
A sport with a perfect 1:1 ride to crash ratio.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Matthew do what they do best:



Hayley and Nathan are watching the events with Grandma.
Hayley is asking questions about the scoring of the events.
Nathan is just being a shutter bug.







Matthew is restless, so he goes for a walk with mom

Katie's Pole Bending competition:







The spectators are riveted!









Matthew surprises us all by feeding himself.
The only spill was from Dad trying to help him out.
