We started Wednesday as a quiet down day. The kids explored around the house and played board games. The adults planned for the second half of the trip. Yellowstone is making news, but it will not change our plans.
We walked around Aspen after lunch. We ran into a friend from our last visit. Consi, Alison's sister, lives and works in Aspen. I love how we can travel across the country and run into people we know without planning.
Then it was time for Rodeo!
The first cowboy out of the gate needed the medics to get him off the ground. Jen and I gave a parental look towards each other, "was this a good choice?"
The second cowboy needed all the rodeo hands to help get the horse off of him as he and the horse fell over and rolled on the ground. Jen and I looked at each other again, "ahhhh, if this is amateur night at the rodeo, lets get out of here!"
Thankfully, the rest of the night did not require medical attention.
Some of our favorite events included:
Mutton Run: This is when a 10 year old kid hops on a sheep and holds on for dear life.
Calf Chase: This is when 30 kids chase 10 calves and try to get the ribbon tied to the tail of 3 of the calves. That event was sponsored by Purel!
Tomorrow is our last full day in Snowmass.

Ever wonder how our athletes train during the summer? Check out this video of ski jump training at Buttermilk Mountain:
