Fort Worth Stock Show

The weather has beeen yucky so we decided to go to the Fort Worth Stock Show on Sunday. We walked through and saw cows, goats, bunnies, ducklings, chicks, sleeping pig, baby pigs and horses. Brooke kept asking to see the horses because she wanted to pet a horse. She was able to pet a cow and it was a sweet cow but Presley didn't want to have any part of petting the cow she just stood back and watched. She didn't have a problem with the goats. She liked them and was fine petting the baby goats. We watched them milk a cow and the girls were mesmerized as the process was done.  They both got a blue ice cream scoop and were excited to get it and wanted to know if they had ice cream.We also went and watched them showing cows and we all picked our favorite cow and sat and waited to see which cow won. Daddy's cow came in second and my cow came in fourth. It was fun to see them watch their cow and hope that it won. Brooke chose her cow based on the owner's white shirt and Presley chose her cow because a girls was showing it. So funny how their little minds work. We watched roping cows as well and the girls were on the cow's side. They were saying, "go cow go." It just made me laugh to hear them. Their innocence just melts my heart. It did make me realize their compassion for any living thing is so apparent. Brooke did not like the smell as we were walking through the animal stalls and she would place her ice cream scoop over her nose to cover up the smell. She was so funny to watch. She has become quite witty. The girls saw the chocolate marshmellows with sprinkles and had to have them and as you can see they really enjoyed them. We were on our way out and Brooke had to stop to watch a goat getting ready to be showed. She looked at me and said, "Mommy he doesn't like what she is doing to him." She is so compassionate and cares so much about every living thing. It was a great family outing and loved every minute of it.

Stock Show

We went to the stock show last Saturday. I will post more pictures because I took a ton. The girls loved seeing all the animals. Brooke really loved the bunnies and man were there some huge rabbits. Presley liked all the animals. We took them to the rides and they loved it. The motorcycle ride worried daddy a little bit but they did great. We rode a Ladybug ride and Presley really had a ball. I think she had a permanent smile on her face. Alec and Beebee went with us and we ran into the Mathis family as well. It was a fun but tiring day. The girls fell asleep in the car on the way home. Gary and I went back to the stock show that evening with friends and then went to dinner with a group of people. It was great to get out with my husband and to see friends. I better get to bed because I have a training tomorrow. Goodnight!
