Summer Fun with Friends and At the Rodeo/2011

 Ron & JoAnn have a home in Lake Havasu and a home in Tri-Cities.  We spent a few days with them.  They are good friends.  Anna and Zane lived in their Washington home when they were first married (before Ron & JoAnn lived in the house). 
 The backyard of the place in Pasco.  Ron has a huge garden.  So many veggies, they're coming out of their "ears"...but was so yummy to have fresh veggies at every meal!  Oh Yum! 
 The back patio!
 JoAnn needed onions for her fresh-made salsa, so out to the garden, and 'wa-la'.................................
 Three onions coming up....................."Walla Walla Sweets" to be exact!!!
 Then the four of us took the bus to the Benton County fair so we could see the rodeo.  That was a lot of fun.  Entirely toooooooooooooooo hot, but fun too.  
 These two sheep belonged to Jacqueline and Wyatt Musser...some friends in Kennewick.  Daniel hangs out with them....(Jacqueline) quite a bit...just as friends. 
 Hogs at the fair that will go up for sale!
 Jacqueline Musser helping with the auction sale of the hogs at the fair.  Her family are auctioneers and she plans to become an auctioneer once she graduates next year.  (Auctioneer School).  Daniel goes to Wednesday bible study with them. 

 The silly circus clown was pretty fun...we were told he is a school teacher from Walla Walla, WA.

 Yee Haw, Buckin' Bronco.......Ride 'em Cow Boy!!!!
The "One Arm Bandit" - John Payne was really an excellent part of the show, a one-armed cowboy (lost his arm in an electrical explosion, so decided to train his mule and buffalo for the circus.  They walk right up onto his trailer as part of the show.  Its really good if you ever have a chance to see him.

The "One armed bandit" has never been at our rodeo. Sounds like a good act. Hope it comes here sometime.
