My Little Cowboy

Will has loved being with friends and family while we've been in Utah.  But one of his favorite things has been feeding and talking to my uncle's horses while at my mom's house.  Each morning when he wakes up there, he'll hear the horses and say,"We need go outside!  The horses talking to me!"  So we do.

Shawnee let Will sit on her horse for a few minutes, but he wasn't quite up for a ride yet.  We'll try again soon.

Look at that smile.

Most of the horses know Will now and start getting excited knowing that he'll bring them a treat.

Another thing he has loved is all of the tractors.  One of them is missing a seat and he told Jeremy that we need to have the cowboy (my uncle) fix it.

We went to the Genola rodeo and Will stayed right by the fence almost the entire time.  He loved watching the cowboys.

They did a race for kids from 6-9 to catch chickens.  My niece Dani gave it a try but didn't catch one.  This little girl was nice enough to let Will pet the chicken she caught. 

It's been a lot of fun watching him get so excited about being in the country and seeing things he doesn't get to see often in Chicago.  Hopefully by the end of our stay in a few weeks he'll be brave enough to go for a ride on the horse.
