Lamb Day

The big day finally arrived. Lamb Day is the big town celebration and we go at least double our 1000 people town. I starts off with a breakfast and flag raising ceremony, then a parade, then festivities at the town park. As a family, we all gather in the shade of a tree and just visit with everyone from town and relatives who came for the occasion. Last year Jordan participated in the Mutton Bustin' event. Kids ages 5 to 8 ride a sheep just like the big guys ride a bull. The whole idea is to hang on for dear life. She had a blast last year and wanted badly to do it again. This was her last year and she did really good. Go to www.youtube.com/sweetscgrl to watch her mutton bustin'.
