This morning we took a much needed family day and headed out to the Fort Worth Stock Yards. It was Eva's first trip to Cowtown so we wanted to teach her what being a Texan is really about.
Our first stop was the petting zoo. Eva really liked the camel. The camel was a big fan of Eva. Every time his big tongue licked her hand she giggled in delight.
They also had lots of sheep and goats and other small animals. I was hoping they would have a pony or cow but they didn't.
Doesn't it look like this llama knows to pose for a picture? We need to train Eva to pose this well!
As we walked around we did find an actual longhorn for Eva to sit on. Could this cow BE any more excited to have a two year old on his back?
And we got to pet a horse and see a real cowboy!
We picked a beautiful day to be outdoors - perfect slightly cloudy weather. I love spring.
We got to see the cattle round up right before lunch. I thought this was going to be like 100 cows and it was maybe 20......I guess the wild west isn't quite what it used to be.
Yee-haw! Let's be honest, her favorite thing in the world is to ride these silly animated rides. Lucky for her I had 3 quarters in my purse. Note to grandma's: a few quarters hidden inside of Easter eggs would be thrilling for Eva.
I love our little cowgirl and am thankful for a little family morning.
Looks like a fun family time!!
