So if the boys are Texans, they need to know their home state. This week we are taking a Texas road trip that will highlight the best spots every Texan should see and know. We begin in Cow Town, where the West begins. This morning we watched a cattle drive in the Stockyards.
Evan wanted to know if the teens working the tourist site wore their jeans and boots to school. He was genuinely shocked to hear yes. He was even more shocked that Fort Worth lawyers are rumored to go to court in boots.
I've decided to one day own a farm and have pet longhorns. They are just so cute!
After watching the steers frolic, we headed to the biggest honky-tonk in the world. Keagan asked if we would buy him a pair of boots so he could return tonight to dance with the ladies.
Evan was more impressed to see the statue that is shown in just about every televised Cowboy game.
Next on our list was Sundance Square. The boys now know all about the Chisholm Trail. I had to share that one piece of seventh grade Texas history that I still remember.
We found the Cowboys Fan store, aka Heaven to Evan, and had to purchase a few items. Evan literally walked through and around every corner of the store three times trying to soak it all in.
After dinner we found a group of cowboys and cowgirls practicing their roping skills. Evan wanted to know why people still perform in rodeos in the 21st century. We had to explain that some people LIKE it. His mind was blown.
We ended our evening walking along Trinity Trails spotting snakes, cranes, turtles, and cats.
Tomorrow we hit the road for our next stop.
