Even Lincoln participated. Here he's moving numbered cattle from one corral (wall) to another.

Here the kids are making bracelets from foam barnyard animals.
What roundup wouldn't be complete without biscuits from the chuckwagon? These are sweetened up with brown sugar and cinnamon.
The boys at the awards ceremony. They received beautiful hand-painted medals from Amanda.
Alexander recieved the "Best Round-up Rookie" award
Peter got "Best Cow Hand"
Owen got the "Best Bronco Buster" award
Next we took cowboy pictures like the real cowboys often did at the end of a long cattle drive. Here's lincoln. He's holding his belt buckle instead of wearing it.

Cowboy Pete. He's got his rope ready for any runaway steers.
This cowboy doesn't mess around. Owen poses with serious cowboy scowl.

Alexander wouldn't pose, so I Photoshopped a video still from his bronc ride.
P.S. I've been trying to post this for over a week, but the videos keep failing. I guess Alexander just won't get his lassoing featured because this is dragging on too much.

This post is awesome. I love all the cowboy pictures. Your school is maybe a little too much fun! Just kidding, that isn't possible. That a great day!
When do I get to join your school?? I LOVED the photos of the boys posing. They are so full of personality.
