My trip with dad

Packed and ready to go I was so excited to go to Pocatello, Idaho with my dad. It was 4:30a.m when we left but I can assure you I was not tired! To excited, I get to spend five days just me and dad at a place we both love a rodeo! So after a ten hour drive we made it! We checked in at the hotel, ate dinner, got dressed, and was at the rodeo with in an hour and a half of arrival. At the rodeo I took stats. ( times and scores.)When we got back to the Hotel I was to tired to swim so I crawled into bed, read my book, and fell fast asleep. Great first day.
The next morning, we woke early, ate breakfast, and headed out to the golf course for the cowboy scrambler. We had a team of 4 dad, a friend Edie, Martian, Jerry, and me the golf cart driver. We had fun there golfing, driving the golf carts, and throwing snow balls at a rivaling team. Even though I almost crashed the cart three times not know it was in reverse, or I put the gas on to hard. But we lived and got third place in the tournament. Once we got back to the Hotel I finally got to dive in that pool I have been eyeing since we arrived. But only for a limited time cause it was time to head for the rodeo. Where I ate the best apple and peach cobbler for dinner, and other food to like meat. :)
Another day with its full schedule of meetings, but not for me, the only meeting I have is with the pool. It was as long as four hours. :0 Then a rodeo that night! Got to love it.
The last day and two rodeos today. One in the afternoon and another that night. The night will tell us who is the champion of the events and the winning circuit. We got 5th so not to bad. We had the winner bareback rider so that was good.
Then it was time to head out. This time not tell about 5-5:30ish a.m to get to my mom, sister, brothers, and animals. Even though I had one of the best weeks in my life I was happy to be home. Thankyou for having such a great time with me dad.
Love,
Charsie.
