I completely forgot to tell y'all about Cody's field trip! It took place a couple of weeks ago, but I was too busy trying to catch y'all up with goingLOCAL & Mother's Day! Anyways, we went to a historical park/ranch where we learned about Texas history & got to see what life was like in the 1830's:

"Aunt Susie" taught the kids a dance:

Cody had a nice little visit with Mr. & Mrs. George (the founders of the ranch):

We went on a little tractor tram tour of the property & saw the house where Mrs. George grew up:

The cowboys put on a little show for us. This longhorn is 6 years old, & his horns are 6 feet from tip to tip:

We all got to try our hand at roping cattle:

This was one of the best field trips I've been on with the kids! It was fun to go somewhere other than the zoo or a museum. The kids might have preferred more time to roam around on their own, but I liked that it was more of a guided tour. There was always something to do, and I didn't have to worry about losing any of the boys that I was assigned to watch over ~ because they weren't able to run off in 5 different directions!
