Shooting range





Shannon took me to the shooting range the other day. We shot four different guns (it's not like I remember the names of the guns).

The Park





We have a lot of fun going to the park now that Brigham is getting bigger. He loves playing on the slides and the swings. We just get a big get out of watching him experience all of these fun things for the first time.

Bull Auction

Stockshow and Rodeo






The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo is a huge event down here. We missed it last year so we decided for sure we would make it this year. You could tell we are not originally from here because I think we were the only people there not wearing boots and a cowboy hat.
When we first got there we went to the bull auction. The top bull went for $6,000.00 but the overall top bull of the stock show, which goes for about a month, went for $140,000.00. After the auction we went next door to the llama event. This thing was hilarious. It was an obsticale course that the llamas had to go through but they did it very slowly. Apparently they get startled very easily so there was calm music playing over the sound system and the handlers just walked them through the course.
After that, we went and looked at the cows, pigs and lambs. They had a demonstration on how they milk cows and would bring cows in every half hour to milk.
We had a fun time and now we feel little bit more like we've had the full Fort Worth experience.
