This year marks the 3rd year we have been heading to a Colorado tradition with my Aunt on MLK Day. The National Western Stock Show is a very well known event in Denver Colorado. The Nation Western Stock Show is the “Superbowl” of livestock shows and like I said, it is one of those things we just do in Colorado.
Jude has always had a great time at the stock show and rodeo and this year we decided to see how Teagan liked it. Well, it was a hit for them both again. All the animals and the rodeo makes them happy kiddos.
We weren’t sure if Teagan would be “into” the Rodeo be she was. The moment we sat down she was taking it all in. Asking questions and watching everything around her. Our active wild child who usually cannot stay still sat on Jeremy’s lap for the whole thing! Such a little cowgirl.
My aunt has a white horse named Smokey so every time Teagan saw a light colored horse she yelled “Smokey!!” So funny!
This was Jude’s 3rd Rodeo and he knew exactly what to expect and was most excited for the Bulls and the lassoing as he calls it. 😉
Ready for the Rodeo. Silly Jude, was so nervous for the opening fireworks. He remembered them from last year so he had his ears covered until they went off. Crazy boy.
These horses are amazing. The power!
The Clydesdale Horses can make you feel tiny. These 2,000 pound animals are amazing!!
Jude and Aunt Becky enjoying the show. He loves his Aunt Becky. They have a special Cowboy bond. :O) He is sporting the Cowboy hat that my aunt and uncle got him for Christmas too!. Official Cowboy this year!
This very bedazzled Rodeo Queen had Teagan’s heart. She thought her cowgirl hat was so pretty and was so excited to see her. Diva and sparkles – oh goodness!
Teagan was totally into the show but then boom – ASLEEP!!
We stopped at the Petting Zoo before leaving too. So many baby animals to pet and feed.
The baby pigs!! SO CUTE!! Even Teagan liked them.
The National Western Stock Show has so many things to look at. We walked around and found some fun activities for the kids too. Teagan found a saddle she had to sit on. She was a little disappointed that she didn’t get to ride Smokey.
Jude the Cowboy!! Yeehaw!!
Another successful day at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. I know that we will continue this tradition with our family. Even days after visiting we were still hearing all about the roping and riding and even had a mini rodeo in the house! The kids imaginations run wild and I love it!
Any local Colorado readers head out to the National Western Stock Show this year?
Baby animals and my babies. So much precious in one post.
We haven't brought Lennox to the Rodeo yet, but I went when I first moved to Texas – it's a fun event!
How interesting. We definitely do not have stuff like that here in Boston.
So cute! That first picture of your daughter is adorable.
Haven't been to Stock Show in awhile. Need to go again!
This looks like so much fun! Davey is into cowboys – he would love this!
That looks like so much fun!! Colorado is one of my bucket list locations so maybe I will be able to head to one of those rodeos one day. *a girl can dream*
I have never been to this type of show, it looks like your little cowboys/ girls had a fun time.
Looks like everyone had a wonderful time. I remember going to the rodeo as a kid and just wanting to be old enough to enter the greased pig event. I never got to do it.
It looks like you had a blast! I love the picture where he's covering his ears!
This looks like soo much fun! The pics are great too! I know my boys would really love this.
Aw what a fun time you had. I love a good rodeo and western show.
Looks like everyone had so much fun, especially your little cowboy and cowgirl!
I've never been to a rodeo. I took my kids to many petting zoos though!
These are great pictures. I love to see the Clydsedale horses in person. They're really spectacular.
Wow what a lovely event to take the kids too, they would love to get up lose with the animals. So cool. We never been to a Rodeo.
I love going to things like this. My kids would love it and the animals.
This looks like an awesome family event! Would love to get to Colorado some day!
What a fun event! I remember taking our son to a small rodeo event here in our town when he was little. He loved seeing all the animals!
What a cool event for the whole family to enjoy! My kids love horses so they would have loved this.
The Rodeo can be such a fun night out. I'm glad you kids enjoyed themselves!
Oh why didn't I know of this? This would have great to take Madison and even I would have enjoyed it since I've never been to a Rodeo. There's still so much of CO that I have yet to see.
Oh the kids are so cute. Those horses are amazing.
This looks like a really great event. I know my children would really like to experience something like this in person.
Oh my gosh it looks like everyone is having so much fun. I bet it was a great event.
You guys had so much fun. My family would enjoy this event as well.
It looks like you guys had fun! I have never been to a rodeo before.
What a couple of little cuties you have, oh my goodness! I love Clydesdale horses, some of my uncles are ranchers, so I grew up spending time around them.
I bet that's so fun for the kiddos! I bet they had a blast!
Looks like a great show. Lots of fun for the whole family to enjoy!
