Trips to Fallon

 
Over the summer, we were able to take a few trips to Fallon.  And miracle among miracles, I was able to get a picture with the guy on the left showing a hint of smile :)  We went down for Father's Day and took the boys, Dad, and Grandpa to the Reno Rodeo.  Calvin has been talking about this rodeo for some time now, and it didn't disappoint.


 
We all had a fun time watching all of the different events.



And Camden enjoyed spending a little of his Birthday money on some blue cotton candy.



The next day, we had a pig roast and lunch to celebrate Calvin's graduation from Law School.  I made this Italian Cream Cake (thanks to Buddy's recipe) filled with whipped cream and fresh berries. 


Camden and Camille enjoyed helping with the berries.


We were able to get a lot of Winders together! 

It was a good opportunity for Calvin's Dad to get all of his siblings together, as well as many of his extended family.

 
On our next trip down, we delivered our new bull, Thunder, to his 13 lady friends. You may not be able to tell just from the picture, but he is a big bull!
 


We branded him and gave him some vaccinations.


Then set out to meet the girls.
 
 
Here he is in his new home.
 
 
 
It was a lot of fun to visit our family in Fallon and we can't wait to go back!
