Cowboy Robert

Cowboy Robert

When Robert was two years old we went to Anchorage for the Palmer Fair. When he saw some kids riding horses he thought that they were little cowboys. Then he tried riding one of the horses and he thought he was a cowboy. He and Carmen wanted to try everything but it was getting late and we had to leave. They cried to go on the merry-go-round. When we went home and one of the elders asked him if he was an Eskimo, Robert said, no, he was a cowboy!
