Ellensburg Rodeo

We attended the Rodeo in Ellensburg on Saturday. We've never been, but certainly enjoyed it. We watched calf roping, bronc riding, bull riding, and steer wrestling. The guys doing this are certainly in great shape. The women did the barrel racing. Our friend, Marilyn, bought two tickets for us on the street. They were superb seats and the price was right, too.

We usually go to Circle 8 square dance ranch over labor day weekend. Because Bob has been having some trouble with his heart we weren't able to go. He is in Atrial Flutter. So, for now we won't be dancing as he is out of breath and back on coumadin.

I went on a bike ride/hike with Brian, Toddi, and Hudson yesterday. We went up the Icicle River. Part of the road is washed out, so we rode our bikes to the trail head, did a 4 mile loop hike, then rode back to the truck. It's great using the bikes as it saves 2 1/2 miles of walking. The weather was great, the river was in full force, the chipmunks were out - all in all a great day to be outside.
