We had a romantic lunch together at In n Out. Cole and Alex call it the grilled cheese place, but they love it since they get hats, stickers, and yummy food. Plus it's in their blood since they are California boys :) Cole discovered his love for ketchup during this lunch and it was so cute watching his little chubby fingers dip his fries in it.
Our next stop was checking in at the Hotel and trying to get quick naps in. We had to be to the Stockyards for the cattle drive at 4pm!! At 3:45 we got pulled over for going 80 in a 50 and the worst part is it was a major tollway that is identical to a freeway. When the cop came over and Al rolled down the window Alex said look mamma it's a Cowboy, seriously so funny. The cop still gave us a ticket and as we pulled off he pulled over another car!! Happy Valentines Day We made it to the stockyards with about 1 minute to spare and there was maybe 10 cows in the cattle drive. I was envisioning about 100 cows and at least 10 minutes of entertainment. Oh well :)
We had about 4 hours to kill before the rodeo so we walked around, hung out on the grass practicing selfies with our selfie stick.
We paid $5 for each kid to get their picture on a bull, but totally worth it because look how cute they are. My little Texas cowboys in their skinny jeans and converse.
Another Tex Mex dinner for the books. We love our chips and salsa!!
Doors opened for the rodeo at 6:30 and we were there with some funnel cakes, churros, and an hour and a half to kill before it started. I haven't been to a rodeo in years and I've never been to one in Texas!!
Cole is a nose picker and thinks it's funny, thats a habit we need to break fast!!
Poor Alex was so tired especially since he didn't nap. He fell asleep in my arms around 8:45 and we left the rodeo around 9:15.
Cole woke up crying around 1am and it lasted for awhile until we got him to go pee. The joys of parenthood. Sunday morning we slept in until 9am!! Alex was up at 7 or so and opened all his blinds in the living area, turned on the lights, and colored pictures until we woke up. Al went to grab breakfast and then met us at the pool. I hope we can find a house with a pool and then they need to learn to swim asap!!
Our last stop in Fort Worth was the famous water gardens I saw all over Pinterest. They are these huge fountains downtown that you can walk to the bottom of.
I kept thinking one of them was going to fall in, but they listened pretty well and we all survived. It was fun day in Fort Worth minus the ticket so just remember don't speed on their new tollway.
