Cow pokes





We spent a good part of a lazy Monday on this long July 4th weekend exploring the stockyards of Fort Worth. It was a bit cloudier with intermittent rain, a good thing for Texas, but it wasn't heavy enough to disrupt our plans. We started off with a good ol' cow herding demonstration and then sauntered to some Texas style barbeque meat.


I had half a chicken, and Steph ate a chicken sandwich - what can we say, we avoid red meat, and even this occasion wasn't a good enough excuse. We then spent a good few hours visiting the knickknack stores searching for a replacement for my armadillo keychains which broke last week. Armadillos are out of vogue though and we had no such luck. We got Steph a nice cowgirl boot keychain. Myself - I'm stuck with a plain label type :). We then had an even more fun time building a bear in the Build a Bear workshop for some friends of ours.
