stockyards fun

Today I got to go with H on her field trip.

We went to the stockyards.

I didn't know what to expect but it was so fun. It was probably the most fun I have ever had on a field trip.

We got there and the kids ran the human maze. H got "her best time ever", 16 minutes. All the kids who finished got poppers and sat on the ground and played with them.





We went to several of the museums there. I had never been inside some of them and I particularly enjoyed the wagon displays.
We also got to go in the coliseum. Home of the first ever indoor rodeo. Also the only place that has two rodeo's every weekend.


The bus was loud and crowded. As all school buses are. :)






















We got to watch the herd have their cattle drive down the street and we had a special presentation about being a cowboy.
The most surprising part was when we went by marine creek. I didn't even know it was there. It runs under the street and the shops are built on a bridge that goes over it. It was such a surprise to walk down between two shops and see this creek!


We had lunch at the pavilion. H, Alexa and Meagan were "food statues".

It was such a fun day. The history of the area is really interesting and they did an awesome job on the tours and presentations.

Now H and I want to go see a rodeo!
