Stake Rodeo

Now that is what I call patriotic!

Tonight was our USA Rodeo put on by the Chandler Stake. And when our stake puts on an event you better believe it is an extravaganza. We were told to dress up in red, white in blue to honor our troops and fellow men currently serving in the war or who have in the past. This couple took it seriously!

The Fisher Family in our stake have an awesome piece of property on county island in Chandler. Each year they hold a rodeo for their ward, this year we were lucky enough to attend since they extended it to our entire Chandler Stake. I have never seen so many people in my life! They had a petting zoo, axe throwing, pony rides, and tons of food.

They also had a contest for each age division. For the 2-6 year olds they had a balloon stomp with candy in the middle. For the 7-11 year olds they had a pig chase and for the 12-16 year olds they had a steer chase with $100 bills attached to their horns. Too bad they didn't have that for the 30 year olds. Ha.

And as you can see it was tough to control all of the people I don't even think they said go yet, but the kids went wild! Anything for free candy and money right? I never did get a glimpse of Taylor (hence no photos) the moment she arrived she ran off with her buddies.

Weston especially loved all of the animals he got to pet, sheeps, horses, goats and even a llama.

There was also a number of "familiar" faces dressed up as rodeo clowns in order to keep the steer in line. This one in particular happened to be Luke's soccer coach. All in all it was a fun family affair!
