Cowboys & Cowgirls


I've put together a few collections of photographs from our recent vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming that I'd like to share here. I took approximately 1000 pictures of the trip...which, once edited down ended up being more like 300. But, still...way too many to share here!
This first one, Cowboys & Cowgirls, is a taste of our Wild West experience...one that my boys got to share with all their first cousins on my side of the family. It doesn't often happen that my siblings and I are all together in one place...especially, when joined by all of their spouses and kids. My Mom {known as Mima to the grand kids} was also with us on the trip. It was a family reunion that happens once every couple of years, if we're lucky.

On our last night in town, we attended the local Rodeo!

It was my first Rodeo experience and my kids were over the moon about going...


Towards the end of the night, they called all the kids out into the arena to chase around some sheep. It was a race to see which kids could grab the ribbon off the sheep first. My kids ran as fast as they could...which was difficult to do in the sand...but, didn't make it.

But, they had fun trying!

We took as many opportunities as we could to get some groups shots of all the cousins together.

Each kid also got their own cowboy/girl hat on the trip too. I thought they all looked ridiculously cute in them!

Thank you so much for posting a snapshot of what life could be like if everyone wasn't suffering from craniorectal inversion! With the way the world is progressing, it is no wonder to me why people resort to abusing themselves or others just for the sake of 'getting away from it all'. It is very refreshing and extremely humbling to see people actually being able to LIVE and enjoy it too, instead of just putting one foot in front of the other until the next payday rolls around. Again, Thank you!
