This Thing Is Legendary

At least it’s a legend in the Moore Family! For as long as I can remember every year in January, the Moore Family has put on some boots and headed to Fort Worth for the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. There have been a few years in there that I didn’t make it for various reasons. But if at all possible, we always try to go- rain or shine!

There is nothing quite like the smell of manure, cotton candy, fried fair food, dirt, and livestock! Instantly upon setting foot upon the stock show grounds, memories from all the past years come flooding back. It might not be everyone's idea of a family tradition, but we always have a great time!




Ethan and Jeremy didn't get the memo on the red/ pink theme!



This year, we met my parents on Friday night for dinner and went shopping before the rodeo on Saturday. We had originally planned on Jeremy’s parents joining us, but due to Rita’s knee surgery and a little bit of the flu, they were not up to the very long trip from Tennessee to Dallas. Instead, Rocky and Amy were able to be part of the fun and tradition (it’s their 2nd time!).



Ivy missed a great show!





It was a good rodeo and really good to see everyone and celebrate a family tradition! Y’all come back now!
