[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1323660, member: 24016"] My family used to be much like yours Bigfoot. We were on the road every weekend for a horse event. That is, until one parent decided they would be able to work less if we didn't have such an expensive hobby. Now, most of my family has nothing to do with horses. My brother is one of the best horsemen I can think of, won't even have one on the place. We also have almost nothing to do with that parent. Bitter? Yes! It's not just that the hobby was taken from us, but that something else was chosen over a family activity that mean SO much to all of us. Now, we show cattle. Some years we jackpot all summer, some times we just sneak in the majors. Our family vacations are beef expos, sales, show, etc. Not Disneyland. Regardless, when we hit the road, whoever put in the time and elbow grease gets to go. I can already tell that my young daughter will be very hard on her daddy's pocket book for the next couple of decades, but the memories she has already given us will make it all worth it. I would work with the kids to figure out a schedule that works for everyone. If I'm guessing right, they have good heads on their shoulders and may surprise you with a good plan. [/QUOTE]
