Some recent "Field Trips"

Every Monday Jake has the day off, and we make a point to spend the day as a family and do something fun and educational!

Here are some pics of our recent trips.

Checking out the Cattle Run (which really should be renamed the Cattle Stroll) at the Fort Worth Stock Yards. I love the Stock Yards, it's old school "Texas" and so western. When I am there I just want to line dance and eat BBQ!


The closest thing to bull riding they will ever experience!



Running from the Dinosaurs at the Dinosaur park. We also went to Dinosaur State park to check out some tracks they have discovered in the creek bed. Very cool! We have been twice already. The kids LOVE this state park...water, hiking, and dinosaurs. What a combo!!
 

 TCU has a free Meteorite Gallery. It's small and you can get through it quickly....I wish the kids were a bit more interested..but it was a lot of reading and displays behind glass, so not much to touch. Faith wanted to spend more time there, so this is something we will try again when the boys are older, or just take Faith and leave the boys at home.

We have been to a couple of other state parks, as well as the always loved Legoland Discovery Center. Monday is really my favorite day of the week! Family time, fun, and learning!
