Hi,
Tonight we went to Garrett Coliseum for the Children's Hospital Miracle Rodeo. We had a blast. They had a riding club/team from Autauga County riding holding the flag, and the precision was just amazing. Those girls were really good. The boys really enjoyed it. Then we watched some barrel racing. The first girl was only 7!!! Then came the team roping....Wow, those boys were good! After the exhibition, they had a cowboy come and entertain us with some pretty amazing rope and whip tricks. His partner was a sharp shooter.
After that, we got to go on the coliseum floor and ride in the wagon, ride the horses, pet some animals and learn how to rope. One of the volunteers, Chris, is a senior at AU and hoping to get in the vet school there made friends with us and the boys. He got them to the head of some of the lines, took them on the wagon rides, and walked them around on the horses. This was his 4th year doing the rodeo. Children's was a very special place to him, his younger brother was a patient there for 7 years before he lost the battle. After all that fun, we ended the night with a yummy pizza party!!
Here's some pictures from tonight:
Hope everyone has a great evening!!
Love,
Debbie & Co
