SLC Lineman's Rodeo 2010


































For our THIRD trip to Salt Lake in one month Lance participated in the annual Rocky Mountain Power Lineman's Rodeo. We brought Rachael and Leah with us because in years past we'd seen activities for kids there and thought they might like it. The girls thought this over-nighter was their 'summer vacation,' (poor things!) They asked Dana how many days it would be and she said, "Well, let's see, friday AND saturday!" Isn't it funny how kids think hotels are the greatest places on earth?? I was really glad we invited them because they were able to do lots of fun things. The highlight of the trip however was Lance taking FIRST PLACE in the rodeo for Rocky Mountain Power!! Way to represent, Lancer! He was third overall, out of 101 participants. Now he'll get to compete this fall in Kansas City for nationals. I'm proud of him, especially since he wasn't even trying to place! And the second highlight of the trip was when Aunt Weesh almost hit a cow moose standing right in our lane of traffic going through the Malad pass...no more texting for me:)

Lance got third?? Way to go. And he doesn't even practice everynight on a pole in the backyard like some of those guys!
