Fort Worth Stockyards


Ryland and I played tourists in the Fort Worth Stockyards today in celebration of Nana's birthday.  We had planned to ride the train from Grapevine, but when we arrived at the station we learned all the seats were sold.  I couldn't believe that they were sold out!  We decided to drive on down and have some fun anyway.

Ryland was a little unsure of this tough looking bunch of cowboys, but he warmed up to them quickly as they chatted with him a bit.  It was rather amusing to see them snap back into character for the photo.  Doesn't Ryland fit right in with his plaid shorts and Polo?  Don't let him fool you, he is ruthless.

We had been in Fort Worth for a while, when we heard the train come into the station.  It was an hour late!  Oh my, we lucked out and didn't get a ticket.  That would have been one hot ride!  We will try again in the fall.


Ryland posed with a tractor as we discussed what was so smelly stinky.  Cow s**t.  Whoops!

Ryland is about done with all the site seeing.  We had a great day full of fun.  We look forward to coming back when it is a little cooler.
