Fort Worth Stock Show

Who doesn't love the Fort Worth Stock Show?

First of all, let me apologize for the quality of my pictures - most of them were taken with my phone.

Of course we go to the stock show every year.  My husband's birthday just so happens to fall during the time of the stock show, and we love to go and walk around the grounds and have a couple of adult beverages and watch the girls smile when they see all the animals.

I love this man

One of our favorite things to do at the stock show is walk around the exhibit hall and look at all the cool things they have for sale.  Like, for instance, this cool little horse on rollers - you make him go by pushing down on the pedals:

She's as fast as lightning

You might even run into one of the coolest cows around - Miss Elsie of Borden Milk fame:

And her son Beauregard:

On our way to the sale barn, we ran into a nice cowboy that let the little ones pet his horse.

In the sale barn, there's another area with different vendors.  The girls and I fell in love with this gorgeous chair/chaise.  We'll take one for every room, please.

Yay for turquoise!!

There really are some very talented, creative people out there and a lot of them are selling their wares at the Fort Worth Stock Show.  You really ought to go check them out.

Leaving the Fort Worth Stock Show

There's so much to see and do at the stock show.  You really just have to go and experience it for yourself.  It's legendary, you know!

We had a great time at the Fort Worth Stock Show, just like we do every year.
