For our honeymoon, Odin and I decided to got to Las Vegas for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo!! Boy, did we have fun. We put 500 miles on our pickup, just driving around the city.

We stayed at the South Point hotel for the first 4 nights.
It was truely "Cowboy Central". There were soooo many cowboy hats everywhere it was amazing. They even had country music playing in the lobby. In the South Point, they have an indoor "Equestrian Center"! So we took advantage of that and went and saw Pat Parelli.
Odin thoroughly enjoying the "pony show".

Later that evening we went to the first night of the WNFR!
The big screen.
Odin and I found our seats early! Good thing too, because the place was packed.
This was the horse that carried the flag for the National Anthem. I wonder if its mane is real or if he has extensions. They have those for horse, you know!
Guess who is singing the National Anthem?
That's right! Reba McEntire!!!!!! Sooooo cool.
These are all the contestants, from all over the states.
This is the pickup man from Montana! His horse is sure good looking.
Saddle Bronc riding.
These are all the ladies that carry the flags and their black horses.
Odin and I spent Thanksgiving with Ronnie, Glen and Uncle Bob at the North Farm again this year! This was the first year since Odin and I met that we didn't stay at the farm as well. Odin said we could, but it didn't make any sense since we have our own place 40 minutes away! Ronnie made all the fixings and a wood stove turkey! The absolute best!!!

Calli even found her favorite spot again!

When we got home, Luna had got her 4th injury. Yeah for me... Of course it was really cold, so I was really thankful for a large lit barn to inspect the injury in!
The horse's barn, with 2 functional stalls (there are 4 stalls in total, but two aren't cleaned out or fixed up yet) and an open area (that you can see in this picture) where Rio likes to hang out!
