Yee haw to the Fort Worth Stock Show! Aden put his boots on, Ethan grabbed his flannel and we headed down to see some fuzzies. Bring on the livestock!
We started with a little bean bag game, which Ethan also played, and then made our way to as many cows, horses, pigs, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkeys and other such animals as we could find.
But on the way, we found TRACTORS! All three boys decided we need one.
A&E got to hold and pet a baby goat... and it only cost $12. (Seriously highway robbery, but they giggled and cooed the whole time).
Ethan was pretty impressed and intrigued by the fact that cows also take baths.
(Watching cows get shampooed)
There's also quite a bit of purchase opportunities as well, from hats to boots to trailers to barbecue supplies. Endless amounts of goods! And food of course, which was really what Ethan was concerned about. He saw a corn dog stand and begged "please? Pleeeaaase?" until I gave in. Which didn't take too long. I can't say no to that sweet face.
After all the petting and shopping and eating, we ended the night at the carnival section of rides. They actually have a large amount that both boys could ride.
While Aden was on the motorcycles, Ethan saw the swings and threw a fit trying to get to them. We're still trying to teach him the concept of "just a minute." He remembers these from Six Flags though and wanted on immediately.
When we finally got there though, he sort of froze. I couldn't tell if he was scared or not, but I think he might have thought about being scared for a few seconds. Then he was fine though and had a great time on the ride.
The winner for the evening though, for both boys, was the boats. They loved these. Ethan cried and kicked me when the ride was over and I had to take them off. That kid has quite a temper... and quite a leg muscle.
He got over it though and after a quick talking to about not kicking, we were friends again.
