Peanut Butter and Jelly!



Howdy Pardner

Today was the grand finale at Newcastle School of "Western Days." I was able to go and help out for the morning and had a great time. We even made "hot rocks," which is what cowboys and cowgirls ate while on the trail while herdin' doggies. They used to heat up flat rocks in a fire and cook biscuits on top. Due to the strict, wimpy Salt Lake County fire marshal codes, we were unable to duplicate that process exactly, and used an oven. The biscuits turned out great, and were consumed with the aid of butter, strawberry jam, and a two ounce paper cup of milk.



Pre hot rocks anticipation

I mentioned to Miss Jeri about how much we enjoyed the Peanut Butter and Jelly song when Emma sings it at home, so she was kind enough to put her cowpokes through their paces, so that we can share it with you all:



Shoot, there was even some singin' by the campfire,


Flag Salutin'


........and doggie bustin'


Eeeee Haaaa!

Ok then.

That cowpoke in the black hat steals the show. Rumor is, there's going to be a stage musical version of "Blazing Saddels."
Look like this bunch is rarin' to go. Saddle up!

That is so adorable I can hardly stand it. When Emma throws her hands up in the air for "jelly" you can feel her glee. I LOVE THAT SONG!!!
