Today was a nice day so once again we made it to our secret spot and had lunch. After lunch Denny, Penny, Den, and Olivia decided to make a bridge across the creek. The first picture is Olivia walking acrossed and no she didn't fall in, although Penny did on the way back acrossed. I would have gotten a picture of her falling in but I had my camera turned off waiting to go across myself, but this is an aftermath picture. The next picture is of Den, but I'm not sure what he was doing. All of the sudden he just stood like that waiting for me to take a picture.
This was Olivia's favorite part. As most of you saw over Easter weekend Olivia has pretend horses called Lemon Drop and a new one called Clementine. She says that she is the best horse rider this side of the Mississippi. Well on Saturday she saw some new things for her horses to do. They are trick riders, so now not only is she the best rider she is the best trick rider as well. She has her horses running backwards and sideways.
This picture is of the only girl riding the bulls, she is 16 years old. She stayed on for about 2 seconds. The rest of the riders did pretty good only 5 or 6 made it to the championship round, and in that round nobody made the 8 seconds. The next picture is of a bull with the biggest horns there, luckily enough the cowboy and the bull fighters didn't get hit with them. There were only 2 cowboys that got hurt, one got hit in the face by the bull and the other one hurt his ribs I think, because when he left the arnea he was holding them. It was a real good time, I really enjoyed myself. If I had the chance to go again I would go in a heart beat.
On Saturday we went to Bull Ride Mania. To start things off they had the Mutten Busters, it is where kids ride sheep for 6 seconds. None of them got hurt, mostly just ate a little dirt on the fall. We tried talking Olivia and Will into doing that some day, they both said NO!!!!!!!!
We started our weekend with Olivia at tee-ball practice on Friday. If you have never seen a tee-ball game it is quite comical, most of them are just learning how to play ball and have a little trouble hitting the ball and throwing it to the right person. One picture is of Will, he isn't on the team but, they let him take up space in the outfield. He didn't stay out there very long, the ball never came to him, so he left and came to sit with Denny and I. Our neighbor Rob Smith is the coach. So far Olivia is the only girl, there is supposed to be another girl but she hasn't shown up yet. Most of the kids that are playing are going to be in kindergarten together, so this is a good way for Olivia to meet some of her classmates before school starts.

Will is trying to cut some firewood at Denny's mom's house. He still has all of his fingers and toes surprisingly enough. He did a pretty good job though, he didn't cut much the wood wouldn't stay upright, but he gave it a good try. I have pictures of other people cutting wood as well, but I don't think she would appreciate that very much.
