Ree Drummond, better known as “The Pioneer Woman,” is sending another kid off to college!
The 52-year-old Food Network star shared a touching tribute on Instagram Saturday for her son Bryce, 18, as she and her husband, Ladd, dropped him off at college at the University of North Texas.
“Ladd and I delivered Bryce to college today!” she wrote. “He was recruited to play quarterback at University of North Texas, and he worked hard to graduate from high school early so he could get down here and participate in spring practice with his new team.”
Drummond explained that her daughter Alex, 23, and her fiancé, Mauricio Scott, live in Dallas and helped Bryce move into the dorms, adding, “Then we all went out to eat enchiladas and burritos for dinner, which is what you do in Texas.”
Drummond is also mom to son Todd, 16, daughter Paige, 21, and foster son Jamar, 18.
“Right now Ladd and I are about to pass out cold in an area Embassy Suites while Alex and Mauricio take Bryce to buy bottled water and string cheese for his dorm fridge,” she continued. “Meanwhile, Paige is back home in Oklahoma, driving to Jamar and Todd’s basketball tournament to cheer them on. My brain is dead and my heart is full. Good night.”
Earlier in the day, Drummond shared a photo to her Instagram stories of Bryce hugging Jamar while Todd stood alongside the duo.
“Bryce is heading to college today ?,” Drummond wrote on her Instagram story. “Just said bye to his brothers ???. I’ll be okay in 2085.”
