July 2011

Our family tradition for the 4th of July weekend is to go to the Taylor rodeo.  In years past we have stayed with my parents at their cabin in Concho.  The last couple of years we have camped at Woods Canyon Lake.  The rodeo in Taylor is so much fun and they have a great fireworks display.  This is an event we look forward to every year.  This year all of our kids and grandkids were able to go with us.  We camped at Woods Canyon Lake, fished, took the canoe out on the lake, went on a little ranger lead hike, took naps, enjoyed afternoon rains, and of course went to the rodeo and enjoyed the fireworks.  It was a great weekend.  The only down side was due to the fire restrictions - no campfires (which wasn't so bad) and the hiking trails were closed (so no hike this month).  We hope and pray that it rains enough to soak the ground and diminish the risk of fires to the area.  Sorry, no pictures for this post - I forgot to bring the camera.  Both Rachael and Shannon took lots of pictures and will most likely post to their blogs.  Check them out at http://jeffandrachael.blogspot.com/ and  http://www.thedownsfamily07.blogspot.com/.  


Happy Fourth of July!
