Hitting the Stockyards 

Yesterday we went to the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards with the West Virginia gang. We had lunch at Riscky’s Barbecue (that’s almost a requirement if you are going to the Stockyards). Then we did some shopping while waiting for the Fort Worth Longhorn herd to walk down the street. There were 19 or 20 longhorns this time, which is the most I remember seeing at one time. The girls all got cowboy hats and Evan got a rubber band gun and tornado in a bottle. I got a swimsuit with the Texas Flag design on it. It’s so cool!!!!

Nadia got herself a pair of cowgirl boots, which she absolutely loves. The pair we borrowed from Alyssa (thanks guys) are too small and she needed a new pair. The red ladybug rain boots from my sister Tahni have holes in the toes from her wearing them so often, so the new boots were a great buy! Here is a little video of Nadia at Fincher’s White Front Western store. The store has been there since 1902 and they really know their stuff. They have boots from infant to adult and will also fit custom hats.

This store window just made me laugh with the McCain and Obama cut-outs.
