Watco Company Picnic -- Sept 2008

Maggie Snow sat with Austin and Jack and I sat in front of them. The boys had fun, but thought it was a little rough!

Austin coming down the slide - so much fun!

The Watco Company picnic is always a lot of fun and held at Lincoln Park in Pittsburg. There are all kinds of rides for the boys at Kiddieland and then Watco brings in a bunch of bouncy slides and things that little boys and girls will enjoy. It was a beautiful Saturday in September that we enjoyed good company and food....and rollercoaster rides!

Our Last Horse Show of the Season -- Sept 21, 2008

We have had a rainy 2008 and a bumper hay crop. Yahoo. However, so much rain has kept us several times from holding our horse shows at the Hepler Arena. Our last show was held indoors to make sure we could finish out the season. We met at Bridwell Arena at Frontenac Kansas. There was a special costume class that the boys had prepared for over the last few months. Austin and Mommy were Native Americans with their buckskin pony, Dusty Dakota. Jackson and Daddy were Union Officers on their palomino US Cavalry pony, Honey! We had a great time and were blessed to have our Nana and Papa at the show besides Nana Jane from Kansas City. Austin is really becoming quite the rider and Jackson loves dressing up and showing everyone what he can do. In the costume class, Jackson took 2nd and Austin came in 3rd out of 7. Our friend Bailee Heenan took first as a prairie school girl. We were proud of Bailee and she looked so pretty. The boys wore Papa Art's neck ties in the Lead Line class and looked real nice. Papa Art would have been proud of the boys! Everyone fell asleep on the way home from the show except Mommy!
