Cheyenne Frontier Days

July 20-24

We always try to go to Cheyenne sometime during the summer and visit with KC's family.  This year we had so many things going on that we had a short amount of time so it was a quick trip.  Although short it was still fun!

On Saturday morning we went to the Frontier Days Parade.  Luckily Tron (KC's brother) works at a hotel downtown and saved us a spot with chairs and shade.  It was really hot.  We enjoyed the parade for a while and then we went inside the hotel lobby to cool off.

 The younger cousins.
 Playing dress up.  A favorite pastime for the girls.
 On Friday night Brad Paisley was performing at the park so we thought it would be fun to go walk around the park and listen to the music.  We found a spot where we could see the big screen and we stood there for a little bit to watch the concert.  C was videoing when a person came out and gave her her pass so she could get in and watch it closer.  She went in for a while then she came out and S and CR went in to listen.  It was such an eye opening experience for them.  Environment that they are not used to being around.  Most were drinking.  C even got offered a drink that she refused.  They asked her why and she said because she was Mormon.  Because of the pass we ended up staying there for all of the concert.
 Only a loving grandma would let a grandchild play in flour.  G thought it was great!  G became close to grandma on this trip.  G is an early riser and most nights she would fall asleep somewhere and we would just put her in bed so she did not know where our room was.  We eventually showed her so she would come find us if she needed us but she liked grandma better.  Early in the morning she would wake up and immediately go upstairs to grandma's bedroom.  Grandma would turn on the tv with cartoons so of course G kept going to see her every morning.

 S was the official face painter for this trip.  This is some of her work.
