KATHERINE SHOW

 AND RODEO

 

2015

 

 

 

Well, we've just had our annual show/rodeo

here in Katherine, so it was a busy weekend.

 

This year the girls and I entered quite a few

sections and managed to come

 home with a few prizes!

 

We entered sewing, lego, woodwork,

cakes, preserves, art work,

photography (of course), and craft.

 

I scored two 1st's, two 2nd's, three 3rd's

Abbi- Two 1st's, three 2nd's, two 3rd's

Emilee - One 2nd

Maddy - Two 2nd's

Chloe - One 2nd

 

Dave was able to fill up on

his annual show food,

which, not surprisingly,

didn't taste any better than last year!

 

James braved a ride on the Hurricane

with the girls, Chloe and Maddy entered

the egg toss and the thong throw.

 

We had a great time at the rodeo,

sitting behind the rails so close that

we were frequently showered in dirt

and on one occasion, I got covered in

horse hair as it rushed passed.

 

There was also the excitement

of a bucking bronc running into the rails

just next to us and bending them in!

Thankfully, this was just after Emilee and

Maddy had climbed down

 from sitting on them!

 

Now that the excitement is over

it's back to school and life in general.

We have been experiencing some very

cold weather (for us, anyway) so

it's on with the Ug boots and jackets.

 

I have uploaded a short video

of some of the action.

 

Enjoy:)
