Cheyenne Frontier Days and Grass Fire at Lone Tree

For Christmas, Hanna and James gave us tickets to Cheyenne Frontier Days and Jill and Larsen gave us a gift certificate for a hotel room at a Best Western.
So we journeyed to Hanna's house and then to Cheyenne. The rodeo was awesome. It is such an amazing performance with so many fun things going on in addition to the rodeo.
We went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse after the rodeo. Then we also had tickets to the Jason Aldean concert that night. They had an opening singer that sang a lot of songs about getting drunk. Then when he was finished, they said there was a threat of lightning in the area so the rest of the concert was delayed for at least an hour. As people started getting more and more drunk around us, we decided not to leave and not stay for the concert. Plus we had an hour drive to our hotel and we had to be back to Newcastle the next morning for church because James and Hanna were speaking.

We had a few hours of sleep and made it to Newcastle for church. James and Hanna did a great job. Then on Sunday night, there were two fires on the ranch. It was actually kind of cool to watch all of the neighbors show up with their water trucks and tractors to help put out the fires. Part of the fire was on BLM land so they also sent airplanes to spray fire retardant. They successfully got the fire out.
