A RODEO...in Minnesota?!?

Well, the very first weekend we were here, we saw a sign that the rodeo had come to town. So, of course we had to go & get all Texan'ed up! As we were leaving our house, Derek said he had a feeling we were going to stick out like a sore-thumb...boy, was he ever right! No one else, and I mean NO ONE had western clothes on! So, everyone there stared at us the entire evening. They at least did not have to be curious where we were from because I was wearing my "Made in Texas" shirt.

Seriously, does it get any cuter?

I thought this one was really cute too...you can also see Turtle Lake in the background.

Walking away...giving me one of her many "Andi" faces.

These shots were taken at the rodeo...sometime a cowgirl just needs to twirl!

I LOVED this shot too!

then it was Derek's turn!

The kiddos riding the little roller coaster...they are both such daredevils!
