mom in oz...derby rodeo

we walked down to get sam and ayesha and then headed to the rodeo from there. not far from the house really...30 min walk? it was a hot one though and we were tired when we got there. the rodeo was great!  there were station competitions, barrel racing, bucking bronc riding, bull riding, etc.  i was in heaven taking shots of the events.  got some pretty good ones but i'm still learning. we came home that evening and claire and hannah stopped by to have some wine and pizze from a local restaurant.  had a blast chatting, drinking and then watching movies.  had a lazy sunday morning the next day and saw claire for coffee before she headed out of town again.  see all the shots here in Mom's visit in Derby 2011 album
