Every once in awhile in our crazy life.....you just need a weekend to go PLAY, and that is what we did. Ryan and I took a weekend to go and visit my Aunt Vicki and her family in Fort Worth, Texas. It was a great cowboy weekend and an even better weekend in inching Ryan into being a cowboy. We started off the first night by hitting up the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo. Rodeos are just bigger and better in Texas, it helps too when you have front row seats and are sitting right on top of the bucking chutes.
The food was phenomenal throughout the whole trip, we should have taken pictures of every meal but we kind of ate it too fast. We looked at all the livestock (beef, lambs, sheep, and pigs) that will be getting sold as well. It brought back so many fun memories of raising beef and pigs for FFA and 4-H. I think Ryan for the first time had a real glimpse into what I was really like growing up and would like for our future kids. Needless to say by the end of the pictures, I think he can't wait either.
There are many things that go on during the month long Stock Show, and we were lucky to be able to see the end of the mustang competition. These horse trainers pick a wild mustang off of BLM land and get 100 days to work with them. It was phenomenal to see what they could do in 100 days. Ryan was super impressed. The best was a trainer dressed as Duck Dynasty during his performance. We love Duck Dynasty.
If I had money, I would have bought this beauty....
Anyways, after all of the Stock Show fun, we played out at my Aunt's Ranch and went on a great horse ride.
This was my buddy Winnemucca, he is a mustang my Aunt bought and is HUGE, loved him.
It was such a fun and fast trip, but well worth it to see some great family. The saying is true, Everything is bigger and better in Texas!
