Fort Worth Stockyards

On Saturday, we met up with Clifton's friends Shawn and Jennifer with their son Grayson at the Fort Worth Stockyards.  Jennifer is due in less than a month with a little brother or sister for Grayson.  We are so excited for them!

We started the morning with a mini-carousel ride, as soon as Shawn inserted the quarter, Finley wanted "down".  Oh my, my, my...see that ticker above about Disneyworld?  Her ride fear is ever increasing, which does not bode well.

After the botched carousel attempt, Grayson and his dad checked out the Stockyard Maze, while we sent Miss Finley to jail. She looks a little too happy to be locked up.

Then it was onto the pony rides and again we heard "down".  She has enjoyed the pony rides in the past, so once again I have no clue where her fear came from.  Grayson did great on the pony, Bullseye.  Since she had such fun in jail, who would have thought that fun things like pony rides and carousels would be enjoyable for her?

At 11:30 am, they heard the cattle down the main drag at the Stockyards.  It is fun to watch all the longhorns shuffle on by with the cowboys guiding them.  We hit up Riscky's Stekahouse afterwards for a tasty Texas lunch.
 

Of course, what is Finley's favorite way to end her big day at the Fort Worth Stockyards?  Blue Bell ice cream!
