Rodeo Parade

This is rodeo weekend in Big Timber and the weather was perfect for an afternoon parade.  These wonderful guys started off the parade just right.

These guys with their big flags just made us all so glad we live in America!

No parade is complete without horses—this team belongs to the Hobble Diamond Ranch north of Big Timber. This little fella’s hat was as big as he was! The theme of the parade was “she thinks my tractor’s sexy.”  This is our friend and neighbor Leslie on her old John Deere that has been restored to pristine condition.

This little girl hoola-hooped all the way along the parade route and she is only four years old!!!

Before the parade Mom, Chuck, Michael and I along with Emmi went out to Nat’s for a picnic.  Emmi got to go to the parade and howl with all the sirens going off!  We sat with friends Jill, Terry and their daughter Kerri—when the parade was over we headed to Cinnabar Creek for milkshakes. 

A perfect Montana summer day!
