Nonnie treated us to a night at Dixie Stampede at the beach this past weekend. We all went as children and even though it has been about 15 years or so since we have been, we loved it all the same! We were so excited and couldn’t wait to go! McCanless and Mary Clare sat mesmerized throughout the entire show! It was a great way to kick off the Christmas season!

Mary Clare was so excited to see the huge tree in front of “Dolly’s” mansion. She ran up to it, stared at it for a minute and then walked around and around it pulling and tugging at every ornament and light! (I can’t wait to get our tree up. Looks like I’m going to have a half-decorated tree this year.)

Horse racing in the gift shop!

Pre-dinner “drinks” in the Saloon!

The girls were able to meet the horses and riders after the show!

…and get autographs from EVERY SINGLE rider in the show!
