Gold Rush Days

Last weekend we went to Gold Rush Days.
A big tah-do in Wickenburg every year.

It took us an hour to park forever to use a bathroom.
We used the bathroom at Circle K and
while we were there we saw Sheriff Joe!
He was with his wife and security.

We found a spot to watch the parade.
We took pictures of the girls and their new belts.
Jasmine, Savannah and Hailey all got new pink belts.
Payton picked the brown one - she doesn't like pink.
Daddy and Savannah were being silly.
they sure are good looking together.

We saw lots of fun things.
crazy cars
Sheriff Joe
big and pretty horses
a baby being parade trained.
It was amazing at how well she just walked by her owner.
She was very calm.
There were some silly things to see too.
Like a chicken pulling a barrel.

That was all the pictures I got.
We saw some friends (Wade and Mikey)
and LOTS of people.
We wandered all the for sale tents
and saw come crazy high prices for some pretty things.
Then came home.

All in all - a fun day in Wickenburg.

Great pics! I SO hear you on the parking. That was a nightmare, but it always is. Wish we'd gotten to see the parade, next year. Carnival is always fun :)

I wish we had stuff like that here. It seems there are a lillion little things that don't even quite add up to Wickenburg and the fun to be had!

That DOES sound like fun (minus the parking part).
