The Stockyards

We had the perfect weekend in Dallas. My family was in town for the Cotton Bowl while we were in town for operation "Bling Bling". On Saturday we drove over to Ft Worth to check out the stockyards. Graham was soooooooooo tired. He probably lost at least 12 hours of his normal sleep throughout the weekend. He powered through it with only a few melt-downs but I felt awful for withholding sleep from our baby.

We enjoyed 82 degree weather while we were there. It was a nice break to have warm weather in January.




The cattle run was short but fun. We watched, from the curb, as the longhorns walked down the streets of the stockyards.
This poor cow broke my heart. He had clips in his nose instead of a bridle in his mouth. He looked like he was miserable and I just couldn't bear it so I took the picture and walked away.
