City Slickers

We headed up to Fort Worth on Thursday afternoon for a quick weekend trip and to catch the Alumni tailgate and the big TCU/BYU game. I felt much pride in seeing Trevor get such a thrill over seeing our Cougars out on the field, but the actual football game was horrible! I felt so bad for David having to sit through such a sad defeat. We stunk!

But moving on to the fun parts of the trip.....




This is Trev cheering on the Cougs with the BYU faithful at the tailgate. See how much he loves those cougs?? When we entered the stadium, we walked over to where he could see onto the field - his wide eyes could not get enough of that field and the "boo-ball" players. He chanted B-Y-U all the way to our seats. Of course, after a quarter or two he had completely lost interest and I chased/wrestled him all around the stadium. My arms were literally shaking with exhaustion by the end of the night. But at least it kept me from having to watch our breakdown play for play. After the game we got to the hotel and put Trevor into his pack-n-play. He wiggled around for a good 5-10 minutes trying to fall asleep. We sat there in the dark waiting for him to finally doze off. From his little crib came one last BYU, BYU and a few wiggles later, he was sound asleep. I'm sure he was just revelling in the excitement and fun that he had seeing the game. I love that boy!


Raising up the next generation of COUGAR.



Friday morning we headed out to the Stockyards in Fort Worth. Each day they have a cattle drive down the main street where the Live Stock Exchange building, Cowboy Hall of Fame and other little shops and historic buildings are located.

A longhorn up close and personal.

The Fort Worth Stock Exchange. Where the first indoor rodeo was held, and the first radio broadcast of a rodeo was made. The building was really pretty in it's western way and had a little museum with plenty of old west historical artifacts and information about Fort Worth. Almost made me want to pick up a western novel and get lost in the stories of characters like the Sundance Kid and the wild west.... Almost. :0)

Yee-haw!
City Girl meet Big Jake.

We finished off our little trip with a stop in Waxahachie at The Chisholm Grill in their little town square. It was amazingly delicious - piping hot peach cobbler with ice cream. I'm already trying to think of an excuse to get back to Waxahachie again.....
