A Trip to Cowtown

Our family has a season pass to Cowtown and since the weather was absolutely glorious for February, we headed there this afternoon.  We always learn something new every time we visit and today was no exception.  In the Print Shop we were reminded about upper and lower case letters but we also learned that the print shop guys could put together 30 words per minute with the little tiles!  When we went to the farm and met Rosie, the cow, we also learned about the process they go through to get the corn ready.  Rosie got really excited when she saw what we were doing and thought she was going to get a treat.  The Victorian dancers were a nice treat as were the sarsparillas from the saloon.  The gun show rounded out our afternoon at Cowtown.  There were very few people there which was good for us but bad for them.  It’s such a fascinating museum that more people should really check it out!

The kids like to pose by the entrance’s horses but Taylor wouldn’t have any part of it today.  He was still sulking about his hair cut.  In a lawyer’s office museum on the main street.

The Meat shop was an interesting one with all of the boys getting in on the dead animals!

I’m sure Ken’s shot will be really interesting!  The kids try the nifty “machine” that takes the corn kernels off the cob.

This “treadmill” is actually for a horse, but that didn’t stop the family from checking it out!

It was a lovely, bright day and we enjoyed the sunshine and then drinks in the saloon.
