We made it!

Our 3rd day traveling we finally made it to our destination. We had a great time staying with their family. The kids got along really well. We did a lot of things to keep us and them busy. They were so good to entertain and host us the entire time. Here are some highlights of our time with them. We went to Fossil Rim Nature Park. It is a drive through park where you can feed animals and they come up to our car. Really close to your car. In some cases noses and heads were in the car. You can feed the giraffes out of your hand. The funniest moment was when a giraffe stuck it's head in Erin's sunroof and then drooled into it. We could see the drool dripping down in long strings. Riley was riding with her. She was horrified by it and snuck under the dashboard. The zebras were pretty aggressive and would stick their heads in the windows. Which was a little scary since there were signs stating to be careful of the zebras because they do bite. We went to the Fort Worth Stockyards one evening and watched them run the longhorns down Main Street one night. They have the cowboys dressed up and they really just turn them loose. Which I thought was a little scary when they came right by us. They were really big and there was nothing between us. They must not have many problems since they do it everyday. We had dinner there. Texas BBQ complete with fried pickles.
