Come to Lehi Days

This past weekend, I took the kids to Lehi Days, which is great yearly activity that's been running for who knows how many years?? It's sponsored by my parent's stake so we met up with my family at the rodeo grounds behind the old church building for some fun. I usually end up running into old friends from high school or the stake; it's great to see familiar faces!

Brooklyn sharing some tunes with Heston,
my LITTLE bro that's taller than me at 16 years old!!
Gav gets a piggy-back from Uncle Joshua (my youngest brother)
while waiting in line for the pony ridesBlake looks like a natural up there!Brooklyn with Bro. King
Obviously you can see the look of excitement of Gavin's face here!Holy cow!! This 'lil guy must be hungry!!
Gav was a little unsure about this calf "tasting" him. LOL!Look, this one's just my size!!No words.Cody, the middle brother, is the animal whisperer. He had two chickens sleeping on his lap and a goat at his side. Looks like it's taking a bite of his ear here!! Brooklyn cuddled this chick right to sleep!!
She wanted to bring it home and Grandpa was egging her on. Eh, no.My niece Lexi gets brave with a fuzzy chick......then it flapped her in the face!!
Thank goodness for fast shutter speeds or I'd never capture moments like this on camera!!I'm surprised Gavin actually did this!
Although that poor chick looks like he's ready to jump outta his hands!Blake was nervous. But look at that adorable face!!Little Prest, what a sweetheart!The kids cooled off with a treatGimme!!!!!!!!!Kids sitting with Grandpa while watching the goat dressingHAT!!Here we are just before heading home!
I'm hoping next year that 1) Matt can come with us (he was on a shooting activity and I'm sure he rather would've been with us after what happened that day!) and 2) the kids can participate in some of the organized events. Good times!
