We traveled to Ft.Worth to visit the stockyards, see the cattle, and ride a TRAIN! It was a surprise trip for the boys. They knew what to bring; they just didn't know the final destinations.
It was raining as we pulled into, as Evy refers to it now: Cowboy Town. We quickly found one use for our cowboy hats.
In this shot, Evy is waiting for the cattle drive. The boys LOVED it and followed the cattle as they "drove" down the street.
"WAIT!! Come Back!"
Merritt really couldn't eat. He was too busy checking out the ride outside the restaurant.
Next, a trip to the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
I LOVED IT! Evy enjoyed it. Merritt ran around the whole time. And Erik chased Merritt.
Good times!
More puddles . . . who knew when Merritt insisted on the rubberboots that he would be the one outfitted with the best footwear.
Taking a break, waiting for the next event, a TRAIN ride.
The train, the TRAIN, THE TRAIN!
The trip was amazing! All of us had a great time as a family and it was a superb way to start our "school learning" on Texas.
