Pictures from Zack's Mutton Busting

Zack was amazing. We arrived at the site just as it started to rain hard. We stayed dry but the sheep got soaked. He got some help with his helmet from O'DaDa and Miss Rodeo Colorado. When we asked Zack how it was after it was over, he said "Wet".

Zack Busts a Mutton

No fear. Zack rides a sheep for the first and probably last time.

The Haircut

It was time for Zack to get a haircut. He agreed. We made the appointment and then let him tell the stylist what he wanted. He wanted and got a buzz cut. His cowboy hat fits a lot better now.

We recycle

Zack helped us recycle cardboard boxes today. He helped us break them down and then rode in the truck to the recycle center.

Zack wrangles a live gator!

Zack saw an alligator wrestling show at the Greeley Stampede last night. He was brave enough to get his picture taken with a live alligator after the show!

Colorado Camp Days One and Two

Zack is a delight. We are having a wonderful time. Yesterday we went down to the carnival and he won three prizes. He also went on his favorite rides from last year. Slept like a log last night. Today we got him some sunglasses, played some basketball in the morning with the random balls we had. He ate two grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. We went to the indoor swimming pool in the afternoon where he went down both slides many times. For dinner he ate two large cheese burgers and we went back to the Cold Stone Creamery ice cream place again. We also picked up a youth size basketball for him and he was successful shooting baskets as you can see. Tomorrow we will try to do some miniature golf in the morning. Here are pictures of Zack sending his first text to Mom and Dad at the airport, concentrating on the pop the balloon game where he was very successful, and making a basket with his new basketball.
