Ft. Worth Stockyards


While Jake and Amber were in Nauvoo with the church youth, we took Taylor and Hunter to the Stockyards in Ft. Worth. Dave had heard about them and wanted to check them out. Apparently this is where you would bring your cattle or other live stock to sell back in the day. We actually went there kind of late and missed the cattle drive thru the street. It was a fun place with lots of restaurants, souvenir shops, a VERY cool candy store, an old train that you could ride, a mechanical bull and a maze that was featured on The Amazing Race. Dave and Taylor did the maze and it seemed like they were in there forever! We ate at this really cute restaurant, which I can't remember the name. Hunter ate an entire double buffalo burger! We couldn't believe it. We walked around a bit and they kids got rootbeer floats. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.

A VERY tiny stagecoach.


I thought this was a funny name for a bar...

By any chance was that Filthy McNasty's on that Lady's Alley? lol. Sounds like fun. I've always wanted to drag the kids out to see the show. Maybe next year.
