Defeat of Jesse James Days

What a fun weekend!!! I got to spend Saturday night and Sunday afternoon with none other than my amazing sister queen, Lauren! I experienced my first ever rodeo (thankfully, we didn't have to participate!), witnessed the reenactment of the bank robbery, and rode in our first parade together (Huge thanks to Lori for finding a truck for us and cleaning it!!)! 

The rodeo was such a blast! I had no idea it would be so fun. We were able to meet the 2014 Defeat of Jesse James Days Ambassadors! (seriously, what sweet hearts!) And of course pet all of the animals! I'll admit that I got a little heart broken every time I saw a cowboy flip a baby cow on the ground...poor things looking so sad tied up on the ground.

Sunday started out with brunch at Northfield High School! I was so surprised at the amount of royalty that came to celebrate! I even got to see Riley, a friend from Bethel who is also the Aquatennial Queen/Queen of the Lakes!

After brunch we headed to the bank robbery reenactment! I hadn't been there since I was a little girl, so I couldn't wait! Even better, we had the best seats in the house, right in front of the bank! 
Here is a couple gang members riding in.

I ended my weekend by going to see my all time favorite singer/song writer, Taylor Swift, with two of the best girls I know. It is safe to say that this weekend was one for the books. I can't wait for the Classic now in 2 weeks! 

Oh, I almost forgot! We also ran into the St. Paul Winter Carnival Royal Family!
They were such a hoot! I hope we get to go to this event too! (:

xoxo,
Katie
