This week we made our annual visit to the rodeo that our city holds each summer. The kids love the rodeo and look forward to it all year long. Chance is part cowboy. He comes from good cowboy stock. Many of his ancestors were farmers and ranchers and Chance has some of that flowing through his blood. He does look pretty good in a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. I get asked on a regular basis by the kids if we can get a horse. The answer is no, we don't have space for a horse right now. BUT, we have made the first step in becoming ranchers by acquiring some chickens so we can get fresh eggs.

Chance says that riding a bull is on his bucket list of things to do before he dies. He better do that particular activity while he is young. It is an intense sport that entails a lot of stamina. As well as courage and strength with a body that can be bucked off of an animal and get back up again with at least some body parts still intact. Young bodies do that best.

Chance looks the part of a cowboy and he has cowboy blood running through his veins. We'll see where that leads him in life.
