Cattle Drive

The end of Sept. always seems to be beautiful weather and many activities to choose from. Salina has Smoky Hill Days, Clay Center has a big gathering, and so does Ellsworth. This year, Layne played in a softball tournament so the kids and I headed to Ellsworth to see Grandma and Grandpa and watch the cattle drive down Main Street.

The horses with the American flags and the covered
wagons were the start of the cattle drive.

Brynn got out her pink boots for the occasion--watching the cows with Grandpa.

And here they come--several hundred cows all walking pretty calmly down the middle of Ellsworth, KS

The cowboys took them all the way to the end of the road and turned them around in the park and brought them back down Main Street again. Brynn "mooed" at them--a lot--super funny!

Cows of all shapes and sizes.

Caden wanted to take a picture of the poop--there was a lot of that too!

About a week later, we made a quick trip back to Ellsworth for my Dad's birthday--the big 65! Grandma spoiled us rotten with yummy meatballs and potatoes and of course homemade ice cream and cake!
We loved celebrating with you Dad!
