Carney's!

So Hunter was the big winner at Ponoka last night. He won the First round, split 2nd and 3rd in the short round, won the average and won the 4 man match for a grand total of 12,000$. not a bad day, and it was much needed for our pockets and the standings. After they got through last night Hunter and RJ started back down to the states as they are flying in to Greeley to rope tonight. Houston and I have been here for a couple of days and plan to stay with RJ's horse until the short round. Hunter and RJ will leave as soon as they rope tonight and drive to Salt Lake where they will catch a plane to St. Paul, OR and rope there and Mallao, OR. Hopefully both will be back here for the short round and then its off to Prescott,AZ and then to Calgary!!!!

Last night H and I were surprised to see our cousin and bullrider, Austin Ambrose. We all piled into the truck and went to chilis to grab a bite before the perf. On our way it came a downpour and then a hailstorm. Sure felt like we were back in good Oklahoma! Finally it quit just in time for us to catch a few rides at the carnival before we went to watch Austin. Of course as soon as we walked by the games H had every intention to play them all. The first game he played was a shooting game and he beat me by a mile and won a goofy dolphin, the next was one of those dart balloon games. The lady there seemed pretty nice and said since H didnt really want a prize he could throw all her darts for 5$. Well he ended up throwing about 20 darts and popping about 10 balloons. Come to find out the lady decided rules were rules and i owed her 20 bucks for all the darts, BUT we got a spiderman doll out of the deal. Talk about a rip off, dang carneys!! Then she had the nerve to hand H another dart to play again. Anyway we made it to the arena and watched Austin ride, his bull didnt quite buck as good as he was supposed to but it was fun. After the bullriding they had an awesome motorcross show where they did huge flips in the air. H thought it was so cool but said it was toooo scary to try. Thank goodness!!! So for now me and H are impatiently waiting on the guys to get here. we'll let you know how it goes here at Greeley!!! We miss you all and love you,!! Ash and H
