The Stockyards








Tuesday we spent the afternoon at the Ft Worth Stockyards. We had a great time. Kenyon had her first experience with a Longhorn. Afterwards she kept saying in the most pathetic voice, "cow moo, cow moo..." It was so sad. Needless to say she came home with a toy longhorn. (Amy, I know you are giving the hook'em sign now)
Once we tore her away from the cow, we went to the cowboy
hall of fame. It was interesting. Tommy Lee Jones and the guy from Northern Exposure were inducted this year. They had a large collection of old wagons. Kenyon was excited to see horses. IT was all about "more horsey"

We will head back to the stockyards on Saturday for a wild west show. Sara did a report on Annie Oakley in school this year so we thought it would be fun to see what kind of tricks she had up her leather sleeve!
Hank found a book on the Buffalo Girls at Half Price Books. Sara was excited to read more about the trick shows of the west.
