Grab yer cowboy hat

I guess the saying is true: you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. I've talked Keith into heading to the Grand National Rodeo this weekend! A pair of Ropers and Wranglers aren't that awful, I've assured him (but don't think I'll get him IN them). Not that I'll be sporting that look myself, anyway...

Held at the aptly named Cow Palace, we'll be enjoying the first year the event has included midway games and carnival rides. That in itself is excitement enough. We'll be joined by our good friends Armel & Paul. As Armel and I tend to be quite competitive, I'm sure Keith and Paul are already looking forward to standing around while I try to prove to Armel that I'm the champion of skee ball, the squirt gun thing, and the BB gun star game (and vice versa). Hopefully, some funnel cakes will be involved.

We're looking so forward to our trip up North. Flight arrives into Seattle on Wednesday evening, and we'll leave for Okanogan on Friday mid-morning. Still need to email CeCe and Denny for directions as I seem to have forgotten how to get to Okanogan from Seattle. One can only hope that it's like riding a bike. Or playing skee ball.
