Those of you that aren't from Tucson might not know about Rodeo Days. For two days, the entire city of Tucson closes down for this holiday that I'd never heard of until we moved here. The kids are out of school, there is a huge parade that is the largest non-motorized parade in the country(don't get too excited, it basically means a lot of horses and stagecoaches), and of course, barrell-riding and rodeos. There are all the standard cowboy grub of hotdogs, baked beans, kettle korn, you name it. The kids especially love Wednesday, the day before the break, when they get to dress up as cowboys and cowgirls to school and do all sorts of rootin'-tootin' activities. Here are a couple of clips of Dallin's Rodeo program at the school. Dallin was surprisingly into it and very excited to sport a hat, bandana and fake mustache to school. Malynn was very excited to see Dallin on stage. She yelled at him over and over until the music started. Ethan also wore some cowboy garb to preschool Wednesday morning.

Man, jealous! That sooo beats Days of '47! Kids love all things Western - no wonder your kids are happy clams.
What a fun holiday! I loved Dallin's little dance jig when he went on stage. Kiss the kids for us. How was Twin? We'll have to call you guys soon. We'd love to hear about it! Love you guys - Cory, Jess, and boys!
