James & Lisa Lee & Co.: A Fun Week

We had another fun week. The kids are getting into the swing of school and Tony and Shauna are heading to school this coming week. For family night, we went to the fair on Wednesday. We had a great time looking at all the animals and watching a few shows. The highlight was the Muttin Bustin. I don't even know if that's even how you spell it. Anyway, for those of you who don't know what it is, I'll explain. Basically it is bull riding except on a sheep and you have to be under 60 pounds to ride and under 6 to compete. Koli, Ryan, and Levi all rode. Koli just did an "exhibition ride" and Ryan and Levi competed. I had no idea what to expect. James just told them not to let go and not to cry when they fell off. I really didn't think Levi was actually going to do it. Well, Koli was second to go and he rode for 11.5 seconds. (You're suppose to try and stay on for 6) Some guys who had been watching all week said that was by far the best ride. Way to go Koli. Then I watched the other kids. I'm not sure any of them went 6 seconds. Ryan was up about 2/3 into it (a total of 25 kids did it). He rode 11 seconds and had a few head hits against the other sheep because he wouldn't let go. Then it was Levi's turn. I was fairly nervous but I calmed down when I heard the announcer say, "We're trying to adjust him but man he's got a grip!" I knew he'd probably be fine. And he was. His sheep shot out of there and he did great. Ryan took first and Levi took third. When it was all said and done, the guy running the thing suggested we get some sheep and take the boys on the road. It was a proud moment in their little lives and they love their medals. We ended the night with ice cream at home and a bath for the sheep riders. :)
Enjoy the videos. Grandpa Jenkinson would be proud!!
