Stockyards

We visited the Stockyards in Ft. Worth - it's basically a real Texas experience. It was fun.

Camy and Kendra showing off their cowgirl hats. Kendra has wanted a pink cowgirl hat with a crown since the summer. And ofcourse we'd find one in Texas!!

My favorite - I sat on a Texas Longhorn!!! Isn't he a beaut?

There are cowboys and girls that ride horses in the street, crack their whips, and let you pet their horses. I like this picture because Kendra's face is funny.

We saw the Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show. This gal did fancy riding tricks and Kendra just loved it.

We don't ride horses here in Texas, we ride our longhorns.

This is just too good not to share.

Ft. Worth Children's Museum

On Saturday we took the kids to the Children's museum in Ft. Worth. Mark's sister had a pass so we all got in for free! What a bonus!

Megan and the tortoise

They have a shopping area where the kids push a grocery cart around and pick up plastic food items. Then they bring them to the scanner/cashier area. Kendra is with her cousin Camy.

The carts were too big for Megan so she opted for the basket.

Megan enjoyed the bubble tubes

What a fun place to play!

The guys chillin while the kids play in the dinosaur dig area.

(Mark and Marc)

Megan loved the sand!

Cousins dug up a dino bone.

Aren't they cute? Kendra just loved her cuz.

Ft. Worth Zoo

We went to Texas to see Mark's sister and my brother and their families for Thanksgiving. Texas is such a fun and interesting place. I've never seen so much American pride!

On Friday we went to the Fort Worth zoo with my brother and his family.

The girls loved their cousin Analee

Feeding the birds - probably our favorite spot in the zoo. You can buy seed sticks to feed them.

One landed on Mark

Megan had a great time chasing them.

Kendra feeding a bird - as long as they stayed on the stick she enjoyed them.

Jacob, Analee and Kendra sitting on an alligator

My brother, sister-in-law and their son Sam

Kendra at the petting zoo - Megan was asleep for this part, but she would have loved it.
