HUGO....

I think of Hugo a little differently these days. While there for a ranch rodeo recently, yes it was recently for those of you "blogger harrassers", some friends of ours allowed their child to buy a puppy, named Hugo, who barked all night long. Riley and I sleep very soundly and it didn't bother us too much. Some in our bunch couldn't say the same. So Hugo has a little different meaning these days.

We tied for first in the rodeo. Tie-breaker was the branding and we unfortunately lost. Oh well, the girls showed in the Cowboy Class of the RHAA for the first time. That was super exciting!! I also have a new camera which allowed me to take more pictures than usual. Let's just say that when I sat down this afternoon to upload to my computer.....there were 845 pics from the last three weeks.

The Sweet T Girl roping!!

ALT girl fencing her cow!!

Scout, Trail, and an unidentified playmate giving the barrel heck. I remember playing on a barrel as a kid.....great fun!

A bottle cap and gravel is pretty good entertainment.

Tripp sticking it on one!! I am so proud of this picture because I think this a great loop and I actually captured it. He'll let me know if not.

Riley heeling for Tripp in the doctoring.

Riley in the branding. Thank goodness for the zoom lens, but I still wish I could make the guys in blue disappear.

If I get enough comments to suit me then I just may post about Colorado Springs & our Fourth of July!!
