Our 4th of July - Parade & Rodeo

We're here at our local parade, Oakland, Utah. I'm eating a cow tail from our candy selection. We're throwing out Ballerina Farm merchandise, sweatshirts, shirts, and then cow tails. Um, we're throwing, um, candy, like a lot of candy. Any of those. Okay, who's going to sit in the front? I need two boys. George, you're going to throw a sweatshirt. Hold here while I get everything situated. You guys are going to eat all the candy before the parade starts. We've got to get a family picture, and we've got to get everything lined up to throw. Okay, girls and boys, come take a quick family picture. So these little things, you've got to split them up. They're so good, Dad. Red, orange, orange, yellow. Daniel's reading the ingredients. World number one, don't read in the ingredients in parade candy. This can be good for you, this stuff. There's like 14 ingredients in this little thing. I didn't take it. We didn't have breakfast today. Does the camera know my name? I wanted to introduce you to Zanna. She's here. Hi guys. Helping throw out candy today. Watch the babies. We're matching. There we go. We brought Hannah a stunt double this year, so that worked out pretty nice. For all the really tricky stuff. Well, we woke up, we got the girls ready, and then we just got out the door. Breakfast here. Yeah. So this is our breakfast we've got for today. We've got cow tails and a variety of flavors, and we've got zots. Pretty nutritious. Martha, hand me Mommy's phone right there. Okay, guys, I need some candy. Everyone sit down. Hey, don't throw any at the beginning. Well, I don't know. No, that's not going to work. Okay, Lois, this is your box of candy. You've got to throw this out. You and Mabel. Mabel, you've got to throw this out. You can throw one cow tail, and two of the little candies. That's what the rule is. Sorry, Mabel. No, you can. Yeah, you can. You've got to throw it. You're going to have to get the closest to the edge. Okay, Henry, you're throwing those for me? Yeah. And then, George, where is that knife? Do you have it? Hey, that candy's about to fall off there, Henry. Where? Hey, Henry, what can I throw? You can help me throw this. What can I throw for this? I'll tell you in a second. You can just throw that. Not yet, I'll tell you. Everyone smile. Smile. You know what I mean? Okay, so we've got our green Ballerina Farm long-sleeve shirts with the logo on the back and the cute little print. So, that's what we've got. And then we've got some sweatshirts up there. And I think that's about it. Right? Yep. There we go. It's exciting. Henry and Charles and George and Martha, you guys all going to smile? Yeah. And wave and throw. Okay? Mom, we're throwing out T-shirts. Mom, but I need to throw out candy, too. That's a T-shirt. T-shirt. You're in charge of T-shirts. Okay, put all your candy. Yeah, but throw a bunch of shirts, man. Only candy to, like, people who, like, are young. Here's the ingredients. Wheat flour, which is good, you know, fiber. Corn syrup, basically just corn. Sugar. Highly refined coconut oil. High fructose corn syrup. Modified whey or whey. Skim milk, good. Cream, good. And then, like, a gajillion other ingredients you can't think of. Happy to be here. So it's actually not a cow tail, turns out. It's a fake. What flavor's the best? Caramel. Strawberry. No, I didn't like strawberry. It was the best. So they're, like, little sucker things. And they're kind of sour. When you suck on them real well, they'll, like, turn into pop rocks. And then, like... Daniel, Henry, Charles, George, Francis. Fairback riders from around the world. You can visit at thekansascityut.gov for more information. Kansas Landscapes, your go-to local folks for all. Quite the family. Folks, thanks for being here. Appreciate you. Henry, Charles, George, Francis, Eric, Marshall. Dirty call. Kansas Valley's yesterday's dirty call. Kansas City would like to invite you out to this year's yesterday activity. What strategy went there? It looks like you guys got a little bit hot and heavy at the beginning there. Yeah. Okay, so we just finished the parade. We ended up throwing all the sweatshirts literally the first three minutes of the parade. So the last seven minutes of the parade were a little bit lonely for those spectators. But we learned. You know what? That's all we can do. So now we're picking up cowtel wrappers. This is what the girls worked on during the parade, is just eating as much candy as they could. We did a really good job. But it was so fun. We had such a good time. I feel like we would've... Yeah, well, if we would've done it, we'd have the extra box. Okay. Um, Georgie was cutting open a box of sweatshirts and he swiped me and cut me. Um, looks pretty bad. Charlie's tough. Right? Yeah. You're a tough cowboy. Ready for steer-riding? Yeah. Did anyone ever find my phone? On that red dirt road, well I went and found Jesus. So, you know, I don't know what it is, but every single year I always hold the baby. And the baby, without fail, whoever it is, this year it's Flora, last year it's Mabel, the year before it was Martha. They just fall asleep perfectly during the parade and I always have a sleeping baby in my arms. I'm sure everyone in the crowd just thinks it's the same baby year after year after year. But it's a different baby every year. We just, you know, have a new one every 18 months. So she's wondering when the parade's going to start. When's the parade start? We've been sitting on this side of the road forever. Hello. Hi. She woke up so willing to rest. You want to be in the picture, I know. Oh, God. I think if kids aren't in the back, you can go faster and then we can get ready. Mom! Mom! They have to be back for the Junior Rodeo, right? You want to be in the Junior Rodeo starts at 12. Let's go back to the farm. Back to the farm we go. We're going to milk cows. We're actually getting 10 chickens from the farm that we're taking to the races and chases kids rodeo after. Kids are going to do mutton busting. Charles is going to ride a steer. So we're off. We're off to new things. It was accidental. Somehow. Henry smacked George's ice cream out of his hand. So then he got some ice cream on the floor. But it looked like it was still good. So we had to rescue him. Gross, you know? Who's here for the first time ever at the Kids Rodeo? Alright, we're going to have a good time. Every June you'll be able to sign up for steer riding. So we have a lot of other events that everyone can partake in and be a part of. But as far as the sheep riding and steer riding, that's a sign up that has to be done in June before the rodeo. We'll call you down and we'll get ready for all these events. We're about ready to get started here. We found Hannah. Off yonder. Same dress, so it's easy to spot. Just look which way. Okay, so we're here at the booth. We have a booth at the Oakley Rodeo. So we're serving homemade ice cream and cantaloupes. How are y'all doing? Beautiful. We do have our ice cream and cantaloupe. Or just our plain ice cream. And it's served with honey and salt and mint. Honey is everywhere, yep. Okay, thanks guys. So I've got to give a shout out to my Uncle Steven. You know, growing up he always talked about how he used to like to go to the Renaissance Festival every summer in Alaska. And the highlight of the Renaissance Festival for him was always the cantaloupes and cream. Someone would just back up with a semi-truck, open the back door, and there's just one guy there cutting cantaloupes in half, scoop it out with seeds, and put a big dollop of homemade ice cream in and handed it. And that was one of the food highlights of the festival. So for a long time now I've always wanted to do that. And we finally found a cantaloupe grower. We're finally making our own ice cream. And so brought this together and people are having a lot of fun with it. I'm loving it. This fresh batch just came out and it's really melty. It's a little hard to eat it. But I still think it's great. You can even take some of this stuff and mix it into that. For the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming. On three. One, two, three. Okay, so here is our little John Deere ice cream tractor. And so this is a 1920s hit and miss engine. This is rebuilt, but it is original. And these engines, it's a gas powered engine. They used to run all types of things on. Thrashers and combines and sorting equipment. Anything you could hook a belt up to, they would run these on. And we're using it now, the belts, to turn our ice cream, our homemade ice cream. So you put the cylinders in there with our ice cream base. And then you put the rock salt and the ice around that. And then the belt turns them. And in 30 to 60 minutes, each one holds 5 gallons of ice cream. So we can make 10 gallons of ice cream at a time. So we turn it on throughout the day as we run out of ice cream. We rev up the engine and go for a little longer. So here in about an hour, we'll turn it back on. I could ride the sheep. 50 cantaloupes in 90 minutes. You're talking halves, right? Halves. So 25 whole cantaloupes. We already ran out once. Already ran out once. We've got more at the farm. You guys ready to ride some sheep? Number 31. 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005, 1,006. Six seconds. It was scary, but I mean, it was good afterwards. Alright, here's our winners. Give us your name and where you're from. Ryland, Oakley. Charles, Neyland. Charles won it all. He swept it. I actually missed the ride. I was nursing Flora, but. You watched the video. That's what I was told. I got the exact same thing as that, Charles. Because he just chucked it from the back of the truck. Yes. Today. That lady. And she took a honey with her. And she goes, I sat next to some guy. He's the owner's dad. We're like, oh, David, good job. Good job, David. Of your Oakley Rodeo, we say goodnight, God bless, and have a good day.
