This was taken at a rodeo in Colorado. This was the first time that all of the kids had seen bull riding and I think we all enjoyed it. We stood by the fence, and after the bull had brutally knocked the rider off if it, it normally came by the fence. It looked really mean and it was huge! Maybe as tall as me (5 feet 7 in.). Once you get up close and personal with a bull, they really don't look that small any more. |

This was another rodeo that just my family went to called Frontier Days in Wyoming. We only saw cattle roping because there were too many people that wonted to cattle rope and only so many spots in the actual rodeo. So what we watched was kind of like a trial run. If you didn't make the cut, then you were out. |

Scott's Bluff is in Nebraska along the Oregon Trail. You could travel up the bluff to the top and you could see for miles. |
|
This is a picture of the trails that you could see in that area. We chose to go along the Oregon Tail. |
|
For most of the trip, all we saw was corn, so I grew very fond of corn and just had to get a picture with it. |

In Indiana there are covered bridges and one of them just happened to be used in a movie called, "Bridges of Madison County." As you walked through, people had written on the walls. It was fun reading what people had written. |

As we were going along the Oregon Trail, we drove beside McConaughey Lake. We followed a rode and ended up overlooking the lake. We set the timer on the camera and took a family portrait. |

This is a picture of me with my horse Stitch when we went horseback riding. |

This is on the 4th day of driving to Colorado, as we were exiting The Rocky Mountain National Park, we saw the elk. |

|
On our way home, we stopped at the Grand Ole Opry which is where really good performers would preform for people. This is apparently THE PLACE to sing at and it is a house honor to sing there. |
|
This picture was taken in New Mexico. As we were driving through, you could see for miles on the ground and in the sky. That was the first time that I actually saw flat clouds. I think New Mexico was one of my favorite states that we went through. |

These are all the girls, minus Granny and Pamela, the first morning in Colorado. |

On our way home, we stopped at The Garden of the God's. We watched a video on the rock formations, and then went out driving and saw all of them. The video did them no justice, they were amazing! |

This is me and my siblings at a nice over look right before we hit The Rocky Mountain National Park. |

These are just some of the amazing pictures that we have from the National Park. The first two are taken at the same spot, at an amazing over look. Although it was cold and wet, it was well worth it. |

This was taken near The Peabody at a water park that we just went nuts in. |
