"Hillstead Blood"

At school Luke has been practicing dummy roping. His equestrian teacher told me a few weeks ago that she thought he was good enough to enter into a little competition that they were having this weekend in an ACE hardware parking lot! Luke was excited about it, though clearly one of the non-cowboys in the bunch by what he was wearing...

He had two tries to qualify for the second round and he succeeded on his second try! Unfortunately my camera missed the moment, but it was cute! He was beaming. In the second round he only got one try and had to stand further away and missed, but that was okay. It was a fun thing to try. And we were proud of him. I knew Poppi would have liked to be there to see the cowboy coming out in his grandson. It's that good old Wyoming blood, I tell you.
