Chambers Rodeo

I am getting a little behind in my blog postings.  A week ago Friday night Kyle & Chip were up in the rodeo in Chambers.  Chambers is always a fun rodeo as we get to see a lot of our friends there.  2 of Kyle's aunts were there watching too.  It was fun to visit with Danni & Amy.   Kyle was entered in the Calf Roping, Steer Wrestling, Saddle Bronc Riding & Team Roping.  Chip was entered in the calf roping & Jenae got to run an exhibition barrel run.  It was a busy night for the Whitaker's at the rodeo!   Jenae was a real crowd pleaser.  Everyone cheered really loud when she ran.  She made a good run so it was fun to watch.  I have had lots of comments since then that Jenae's run was the highlight of the rodeo. 

Kyle had to be up in Fergus Falls, MN on Saturday morning.  It was going to be 8 hours up there and he was going to be driving all night.  Last minute I decided to ride along with him to help him drive.  It was a lot of driving and I was glad I was able to help Kyle out.  We left Chambers a little before midnight and got to Fergus Falls about 7:30 that morning.  Kyle was up in slack at 10:00 just in the calf roping.  That night he was up in the bronc riding and steer wrestling.  We left Fergus Falls that night about 10:00 and got home at 5:30 Sunday morning.

Cowgirl Aubree!  I told her if she wanted to ride in the grand entry that she had to
wear her boots & jeans.  She was all decked out as a cowgirl. Kyle told her she looked "awesome"
That made her night to have her Daddy tell her that!

Jenae on Speedster waiting to run her exibition barrel run.  She really looks forward to
running barrels with the big girls!  Her barrel run at the Chambers Rodeo is always a crowd pleaser!

We were excited to see a puppy we sold this past spring at the rodeo. Her new owner
seems really happy with her.  She is a well loved puppy!
