American Fork 37th Ward Rodeo!

Amazing ward activity, last night was the hay ride, square dancing, and dutch oven cook off! Today we started with a 5k run, and then a parade...here is a picture of Jackson and emma in the parade! (emma's activity day group was "I love NY")



Then the rodeo began.... here is lily getting ready for the chicken run (ages 7 and under) lily got into the arena but then "chickened out"

Here is emma doing the chicken run (ages 8 and up) she has green shorts and yankee shirt on.

Youth of the ward participated in the "Cash Cow" (chased a big cow around with dollar bills taped to her) Nick showed his texan colors and cornered the cow and then she turned on him and he almost got trampled on! he managed to grab some cash though!




Next was the Mutton Bustin' which emma was amazing! First to be brave enough to do it and second she rode that sheep for about 9 seconds, got first place! Go Emma!

Jack was next and he got on a very fiesty calf....he lasted about 1 second and got tossed and then stepped on...his ride was to fast for us to get a picture but we got a before and after!




Kenny even got asked to be on one of the milking teams, they had to lasso the cow and then hold them still so they could be milked! he looks a little out of place!

It was all too much fun, greatest ward activity ever and they do it every year! can't wait for next year!
