The Schaack's hit the Ft. Worth Stock Yards!




We went out to Fort Worth to the Stockyards while my family was here. It was really a lot of fun! This is a western district of Ft. Worth that has been preserved and is actually really cool. We walked around the shops, where my dad tried to find some good cowboy boots and a hat (which was unsuccessful--turns out size 15 shoe is hard to come by in cowboy boots).




Then we ate at a great place called J.T. Garcia's. It was really good food and very inexpensive. Its always an experience eating out with the Schaack clan (which is why we probably didn't venture much farther than McDonald's growing up). Mckenzie insisted on dipping her tortilla chips in her water, and I think we spilled another cup of water at some point, but all in all it was a good time.

The last stop was the Rodeo! It was really fun. Its held at an indoor stadium which was actually really cool. After a heart warming prayer to start things off (a rehearsed cowboy version) we enjoyed some bull riding, barrell racing, and calf roping. :) The kids loved it, Kenzie hasn't stopped talking about it since.
