Fun With Horses

We thought we would have some fun with the horses yesterday.  Here are some pictures of the fun.  Oklahoma…what a great place to live!

Woolaroc

We spent yesterday having a great time at Woolarac.  They have so many fun things to see and do.  Here are some pictures from yesterday. Below is one wall of Colt handguns.  Woolaroc has the largest collection of Colt firearms in the world.  This is really something to see.

Below is a picture of Cheri and Joy having fun with one of the animals.

Oklahoma Nature

It is always fun to see what nature has in store for you each day.  Here are a few shots I took the other day.  Bartlesville is just a beautiful place to live.  I thought this sunset had some interesting clouds with the tree line.

This buddy lives around the house with some other pals.  We see them quite a bit.  It’s a great thing to see on my way to work.

Wild West Days

About two weeks ago we all went to the Wild West Days at Prairie Song.  If you haven’t gone to this before, you need to go next year.  There were a ton of things to do and see.  There was even a bakery with homemade pies, fudge, cookies, etc.  Below are some of the pictures from the trick riding and general fun stuff.

Below is a picture of the only female bronc rider at the event.  She won the bronc riding. Seconds after this picture she took a nasty fall and injured her shoulder.

Below is a 17 year old young guy doing trick roping.  This guy was good.  You should have seen him doing the trick shooting!

Trick Roping

This group of ladies below did some wonderful riding and were sure fun to watch.

Fun Riding

This guy below rode two horses standing up.  He rode through fire, did stunts and was pretty impressive.

I can do it standing up

The robbers were chasing this guy below and set his wagon on fire.  Pretty fun to watch.

On fire

The gunfight below took place after the bad guys took some hostages.  It was quite a shootout.  Don’t worry about the trucks in the background

Gunfight

The girl below could really ride.  She was flying around the pasture and was really fun to watch.  Good riding!

Flying like the wind

The Beauty of Creation

I am always amazed at the beauty God created.  I always like to take some time each day and admire the beauty around us.  Here is a shot of a bumble bee I took yesterday.
