NINILCHIK~HANNIBUL~PIZZA

June 30 ~ Saturday ~ sunny/windy (is it ever not windy!).
Cindy and Lindsay are gone by 6am~lemonade syrup/cotton candy (forgot, Cindy also has a machine for cotton candy!) making and selling lattes. Our morning starts out with a surprise phone call from good friends and swimming partners in Whitefish, then we're off to the 1pm rodeo, stopping to see Cindy at the coffee shop (had been filmed by a CT man "because we don't have any latte stands in the east") and then finding a parking spot across from the fair grounds by 12:30 as parking is limited, with the many attending this 2 day event, some even camping on the grounds. The flags were carried by people who have served our country~a very appropriate tribute to our military~with an eagle flying overhead ***not planned, but not a coincidence***during the national anthem. How's that for a Kodak moment! And...I didn't get the picture, but, among others, did get a tear or two... Tera and Lindsay both qualitied in barrels, with Lindsay also qualifying in calf daubing and poles***to be continued tomorrow...
Missed Hannibul, the half yak/half 'Brahma' bull, to help Cindy make pizza for the dance, but CONFIDENTLY handed the camera over to Jack in hopes he'd get a shot or two. WRONG! Finger missed the button and it was all over***to be continued tomorrow...
Meanwhile, Cindy and I indulged ourselves with a relaxing swim before making and delivering 15 pizza in less than 2 hours...with Jack cooking dinner for Lindsay and Tera before the evening dance. Ended the evening with a foot massage and ice cream (you decide how that goes together).
OH...bought a couple raffle tickets...for a rifle or pickup~and will decide which I want when I win***to be continued later this year...
