Father’s Day

Father’s Day was a busy day starting with making Papa’s favorite breakfast, going to cousin Steven’s baptism and then hanging out at the church picnic for San Luis Day!

Just looking!  We didn´t actually purchase any cattle at the auction.

Riders hold a pencil-like thingy and ride quickly toward  a rope hanging across the street.  From this rope are 4-5 little nickel sized rings attached by clothes pins.  The riders must stick the pencil thing through the ring and keep it on to win.  Although Brandon didn´t ride (of course) the people who rode for him (its a fundraiser) won him his first machete and lasoo.  Giddy-up!

Brandon and his first machete.  Yikes!

The activities continued on into the evening with mass, dinner, bingo and Brandon and Chris crawling around the church grounds acting like cows!

We hope everybody had a great day too!

  1. a Machete! For a 2ish year old? That sounds a little bit on the dangerous side…
