We spent most of the day at the Fort Worth stockyards. A fun place to go if you have any interest in the cowboy theme. And even if you don’t.
Fort Worth, also known as Cowtown, still does a cattle drive through the streets by the stockyards on Fridays and Saturdays. Not near what it used to be, when the cattle numbered in the thousands, but still an attraction as about a dozen prize longhorns are herded down the street while spectators line the streets.
We had lunch at Coopers Pit Barbecue and strolled the cowboy-themed shops in the area for a while. In our wanderings we happened on the sign advertising the rodeo for later on this evening. Wouldn’t that be fun! I’ve never been to a real rodeo. So we bought four tickets.
We went back and picked up Sophia from school and came back to Cowtown to have dinner at the Shake Shack and then go to the rodeo. Lots of fun and I’ll let the pictures tell the story.
A Rodeo? Great idea!
