Dunning Jr. Rodeo

On Monday, Marilyn & I loaded up the horses & girls & headed to Dunning for their annual 4th of July rodeo.  It was an early morning.  Jenae woke up at 4:00 so excited for the day & I got up at 5:00.  We were out of our house by 5:45 and got over to Marilyn's to get everything fed before we headed out.  Chip was on the rodeo trail with Kyle so it was a little more for Marilyn & I with out having him along to help out. 
Despite the heat it was a fun day.  Jenae was pretty disappointed that she did not win any money.  She did really good, but she has moved up to 7-10 age group & let me tell you they are a tough group of girls!!  There were 35 girls in her group & she was 9th in the poles & 10 in the barrels.  She made very respectable runs! 

Kyle had a good rodeo in Manawa, WI.  He won the average in the calf roping & 2nd in the average in the Steer Wrestling.  He also placed in both rounds of the calf roping & in the first round of the steer wrestling. 

The girls have went with he & Chip this weekend.  It sounds like they are having so much fun!!!

Jenae had her first goat run in a rodeo.  She made a great run,
unfortunately the goat got up, but it was a great learning experience for her.
