Trey in Jason's cowboy hat!Since the last posting, we attended Cheyenne Frontier Days, the U.S. oldest rodeo. We spent the entire day in Cheyenne, walking around the booths, cheering for the cowboys and listed to a concert by Big and Rich that evening. They are really good live. Jason bought me a pair of hand painted earrings and a beaded bracelet from the Native American “village”.
The craziest event at the rodeo had to be the wild horse "round-up". Essentially, a bunch of "wild" horses, i.e. not saddle broke, are led into the arena and teams made up of three men have to catch a horse, put a saddle on it, get a teammate into the saddle so he can ride it once around the track. They have a five or six minute time limit. This of course is a fiasco. Adding fuel to the fire, the start time is announced with fireworks and a gun shot! 
I was cheering for this team.
But this guy won.
The day after the rodeo, we photographed and documented for posterity a friends wedding. Pictures can be viewed at http://www.wyomingphotographer.com/ Jason is still working on the video.
For the past two weeks I’ve been pulling double duty at work covering for a co-worker who is serving jury duty. (Thank God we’ve got a vacation coming up.) Working at the front desk you hear all kinds of things from the visitors. “Are we going to see inmates inside?” – No, we closed as an active prison in 1903. “Can you take us on a tour?” – No, I’m the only one working today, I have to man the visitors center. “How much can we pay your husband to be our tour guide for the week? – No answer for that one. It’s also a great place to get positive feedback about the exhibits and restoration efforts.
Jason and I head to MN for a mini- Beyer-Treptow family reunion and country cowboy-wedding shower (a belated one for us) at the end of the week. We’ll be gone for four days and hope to come back with a lot of great photos. This will be Jason’s first trip. With so many cousins, aunts and uncles to meet, I’m sure it will be one he’ll remember for a long time!
