By Rachel - 7/26/08



Today we went to Fort Worth for the day. Since today is National Day of the American Cowboy, there were all kinds of activities of cowboys. First we watched a cattle drive, right on Exchange Avenue. They even had a carriage to seat two people, pulled by a miniature pony.

After watching the cattle drive, we watch one activity, a quick draw competition. The next was branding. I got my initials (RE) on a board.

We walked through quite a few gift shops until we headed to the show. The Wild West show was called Pawnee Bill’s Wild West Show. They had stunt riders that would attempt all kinds of stunts.

After watching the show, I rode a mechanical bull. I didn’t fall off, so I guess I did pretty well. We also got shaved ice. I got Mango, and Sis got Cherry Cola.

We walked around at the shops a little more, and then went for some DELICIOUS food. I got Mesquite Barbecued Shrimp, fried okra, and French fries. Yum! We made some final purchases, then went back to the motorhome and watched a movie.

EWE, I can't believe you ate fried Okra. That just sounds gross. And you who eats like a bird especially.
