Image Tag

I noticed on Nat and Clint's blog that they had an image tag going. Clint noted that he's not tagging anyone, so I'm taking the initiative to join in. I usually don't join in on this stuff, but I thought, I'll see which picture pops up, and if it's a good one, I'll do it, if not, I won't. Well it doesn't get any better than Maddie riding a llama. Here are the instructions as posted on Clint's post:

1. Go to your documents/pictures folder.
2. Go to your sixth file.
3. Choose your sixth picture.
4. Blog about it.

Just so you know, I'm blogging this from my work laptop. (Hopefully my boss doesn't read this). So the pictures folder I was going through was only the pictures I have on my work laptop. This picture comes from a day when we went as a family to a co-worker's farewell party up at his home/ranch in Morgan. He was going to Afghanistan (incidentally, his one year is up, and he is coming back in a couple weeks), and invited everyone up for a party before he left. He owns a small bit of land and on it raises a few animals including a few llamas, some goats, a wild burro, and who knows what else. So anyway, he had all of us with kids go out into the field, and corral all the llamas into the pen so the kids could ride them. At first Maddie was on the ground with me guiding her, but she felt more comfortable being held, so I put her on my shoulders, and we were swinging our arms and running around the place trying to keep the llamas from getting away. They would come charging straight for us, and I would just stand my ground, which got Maddie really excited, and she was laughing her head off. Then they got a chance to lead all the llama's around by a rope, and ride them and what not. So this is a shot of Maddie riding "princess". The other llama had some serious tooth/jawbone decay problem, and had a big hole in the side of it's cheek. I don't think Maddie was too fond of that one.

5. Tag six people. I'm with Clint this one, I'm a bit lazy, and I don't really know 6 people to tag. So I'll just tag Dixie and let her do one.
