Made it home from Jr Nationals in Sedalia with only one flat!!! That is an improvement on the two that we had on the way up there last Sunday. What was normally a decent drive turned into a ..... pain in the tail. Both of our kids had a fun time though. Son enjoyed his last year in novice and Daughter had a bred and owned % heifer that we almost left at home, do pretty good. We like her, but being a november along with her red hide..... we didnt think she would end up where she ended up. My daughter was ecstatic when she left the arena. Gotta love this comment, "Dad Spree did really awesome, I cant believe she beat all those heifers that were better than her." I just smiled and told her that today, she must've had her show toes on. My neice had a bred and owned PB that was chosen for the twentieth spot. She was very happy and had a great time for her first nationals. Contests, while somewhat difficult, really weeded out the kids that knew their stuff. Pretty sure I lost some weight the first day setting up in 100 degree temp with HIGH humidity, but also know I gained it all back and then some with the meals that were served. It was just the beginning of a very busy July and August and it was a great way to start it off. Met many new people and started many more friendships. Looking forward to Fayetteville regionals next year and the possibility of road tripping to Ohio for Nationals 2012.
