Off to the (Stick) Races!

What a GIFT to have Nana Dub here for nine days...to play with Rylie, while Mom and Dad worked away. She called it her "Rylie Vacation." It was so wonderful to see Rylie and she bond closer and closer, as they enjoyed parks, walks, the pool, and so much more. We have been praying for a special bond for Rylie and my famly who lives in Washington...and we think the prayers are being answered!!!







One of our final nights together, we all headed to the Boulder County Fair. The reason we like to go, is for the Rodeo! We went last year...and were looking forward to this year, when Rylie could take her turn in the Stick Horse Races!!! The Fair invites all young children out to the horse arena, where they give them FREE stick horses, and conduct a chaotic race. Rylie was in the 2 and under division...of which I think she was the youngest contestant. Needless to say, SHE LOVED IT, and after she reached the finish line and got her ribbon, she kept on saying "more, more." At one point in the race (which is video'd below) the Rodeo Fair Queen, came and helped Rylie cross the finish line. Her first encounter with a celebrity...kinda! :)
