Ropin' Around by Denny Lynn

We got to take a special field trip out to Daddy's old boss' house. He has a roping arena and they were roping! They are a wonderful old lab that used to be a hunting dog - now he is retired. Luckily, he likes kids.

We took our ropes to do some practicing, too!

Roping seems to be a lot of hurry up and wait.

But when it is time, it is all very exciting - to do and to watch!

My new friend Cody was getting roping lessons, and he gave me lessons, too. 

John even got into the act! We don't rope the dogs or our brothers (at least not until we get better at it).

We had lots of fun being outside and playing roping in a real roping arena! We are sure glad we got invited.
