Weekend at the Chucks

We had a busy weekend! Late nights, bad weather, good company and the Chuckwagons. We have always enjoyed the wagons but now that we know someone on the tour it makes it that much better. Bill and Sharon came up for the weekend. We had a good visit. I got a babysitter for Friday night and the four of us went to the races. IT WAS COLD!! Our butts and feet stayed wet for hours. The rain held out for a while and then a few heats before Codey raced the sky opened up and just poured rain. Those guys had mud all over them! I guess that is all a part of racing. The boys came with us on Saturday night and had a good time. Carter's favorite things were the trick riders (girls that hung off their horses in different positions) and the mascot for the Chucks, Skippy. The boys also really liked hanging out with Codey and Michelle's kids (Colby & Cassie) and Missy's (Mitchell & Ashton). They all played on the wagon again this year and most definitely got dirty in the mud!

This is Skippy!
This is Codey on Sunday racing.
"And there's the horn.........."


With the track being really wet the horses had to get the mud showered off of them after the races. Jerry was giving this horse a drink with the hose. Never seen that before!


Here the kids are under the big truck playing amongst the oat buckets. This kept them busy and out if the way for a while.
The bigger boys got to play up on the wagon and pretended that they were the drivers.
Logan and Colby.
Here is the big tough 'cowboy' that we go to watch and he is sitting in his daughters chair eating supper! I'll be hanging on to this picture........blackmail material.
Before we could leave the boys wanted a poster from Codey. During this autographing session the wise cracks were flying like crazy! Carter even threw in a few!
Fans for life.
Looking forward to next year......hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Looks like fun even if it was cold! I am sure the boys didn't even notice!
