Saturday, July 21, 2018 - Cherokee County Horse Show, Pizza Hut Lunch, Back to Bentley-A Nap-Blog Post, More Horse Show, Labette County Horse Show

Today is the Cherokee County Horse Show in Columbus, KS.  Two of our grand-kids, Dacy and Tucker, will be riding in a number of the events.  It starts at 9, but we are going to Pittsburg first to pick up our mail that has been accumulating for a couple of weeks.  Last time I checked there was mostly junk mail so we decided to wait to pick it up until right before we head back to Branson.

We arrived at the Horse Show around 10:30 or so, and as we pulled into the rodeo grounds, we saw Dacy and Tucker on their horses next to each other, waiting to participate in an event.  We watched as they fist bumped each other.  Cool!  We had to park to the far end because we were so late, but soon found Brett and Renae - at the far end of the bleachers from where we parked - a good way to get some steps in, right?

While I'd love to share all of the pictures I took, I tried to pick out some of the better ones to share with you.

This was Dacy performing Trail.  She won purple in this event..  It's her favorite part of the Horse Show.  Unfortunately, my pictures did not come out in order of how the event went.  1, 6, 3, 8, 5, 2,  7,  4 is the correct order.

At around 2:00 they had a break until 6:00.  We joined Brett, Dacy, Tucker and Dacy's friend Jack at Pizza Hut.  We had a nice visit and it was nice getting to visit with Jack.  He lives in Pittsburg and they all met at 4H camp earlier this year.  

After lunch, we drove back to Oswego.  I took a nap, finished a blog post and then we decided to go back for the evening events.  It felt warmer this evening as there was little to no breeze.  At least earlier in the day there was a decent breeze.  We had a good time even though those bleachers are tough on lower backs!  Ha!

After hugs and goodbyes, we returned to Oswego.  Dean wanted to drive through the park.  Labette County is also having their horse show today/night.  I snapped this shot as we drove by the entrance to the Fairgrounds.  It will be busy in this part of SEK the next few days with county fairs going on in both Oswego and Columbus.  

We were both worn out when we got back.  We watched a little TV before heading to bed.  We are moving back to Treasure Lake in Branson tomorrow and we've got stuff to do before we move.
