On Saturday morning we went to the Old Settlers Day Parade in Mulvane and then that evening we went to the rodeo. Mindy did mutton busting and did really great. She had to hold on to the sheep this time instead of using a rope. She said it was harder to hold on, but she did awesome and stayed on for almost 6 seconds. Mom and Dad said they had not been to a rodeo since mom was expecting Monte (30 years!!) Mindy and Makayla each got a $2 bill for running in the arena with only one shoe with the rest of the kids at the rodeo.
Sunday evening mom and I went to Sister Porters house and got to make our own glass pennants to put on a chain for a necklace. Sister Porter will put them into her glass oven thing to finish them off for us. She made these cute magnets for Mia.
Monday we headed over to Yoder, an Amish town just over an hour from where we live. It was fun to go to some of the shops and just be together. After shopping we had "amish" lunch at the Carriage Crossing. Mom and Dad got a taste of fried okra for the first time too.
We finished off the day by going to the Nifty Nut House in Wichita.
They left Tuesday morning after we got the kids off to their first day of school. It was so fun to have them here. One of the nights I asked them to tell the kids some stories about growing up. They took just a few minutes to tell some stories and Mom told about joining the church. They were also here Monday night when Monte gave the girls fathers blessings for starting school. He did a great job. I always love seeing Monte give priesthood blessings and I'm sure Mom and Dad loved it too.
