Saturday was the big surprise day. I made a full breakfast and Craig picked up Sheldon to go golfing in Speargrass for what was 18 hole gift certificates but they only did 9! (and paid extra what the GC were for hahaha) We started getting things ready for the party but once back had a great family barbecue before it was off to Running with the Bulls at 4 to set up.
Diego loved all the guests
Now it was time for me and my crew to get busy and finish set up and park trailers. The birthday boy arrived back at 8 to his surprise party and the evening of socializing, beersby, campfire and fireworks ensued. So much fun, THANKS to everyone who helped, came to celebrate and brought treats and gifts! After 3 it was time to shut down the night.

Sunday was an early start with rain rolling in at 6 and a motor home heading out at 8:30. Time to get coffee and breakfast going. More visiting and slowly many started to venture on.
Ada not sure about the old man walker but does love her some Lexi snuggles

Travis and Asher go for a spin
Shaina and Kaylin were off to work at 1. Paetz's Mom and Dad and us cooked up more burgers before they all left at 3:30 and not long after we were changed and heading to town to do day 2 Running of the Bulls.
It seems we rushed Britt but with a 110 V outlet in the back of the truck you can do your hair on the way!!
As we were watching the first few chuck wagon heats in the scissor lift a storm blew in so it was off to Paetz's for beers and snacks yet again. Sheldon claimed this was the best weekend of his life with so much fun. Around 10 Britt drove us safely home where we all enjoyed a well needed rest, AFTER catching an episode of SOA with Shaina who was now home from work. (Sheldon and I may have fell asleep during it lol)
view from my fence support, the giraffe won FYI (2nd time running total of 8 times)

Sheldon's promotion this year, he is scissor lift boss, shown her with the rodeo queen judges etc
our birds eye view of the chucks
Monday, Britt, Sheldon and I were loaded up in the new truck with trailer and horses and off to a play day. Shaina had to work only 1 of her normal 2 shift Monday so was home soon after us. We watched more SOA episodes.
all hooked up and ready to roll
Seems Scooter may have splashed some soft poop all over Britt so pants had to be removed before getting in the truck, then we broke another rule and allowed food.. seems she was not pleased I had to document with pictures but soon cheered up! the beer chugging is her faking though people!!
