Papa Fun Day

A few weeks ago Jay had a class ALL DAY Saturday and as I was trying to figure out what to do with the boys Papa called and invited us for a day of fun.  We went to the Fort Worth Stockyards and it was a blast. 

The boys loved all of the animals.

Such a fun day!

Jack wanted to try to rope a steer (it was stationary for the kids to practice).  He, of course, roped it on the very first try.

Then he got to pet a real one.

And then the rides!  Jack was in heaven and this was his favorite.  I was afraid he might get to the top and get scared but apparently he has no fear of heights.  He loved it!

While heights did not bother him at all this ride did.  Papa said Jack was sliding around and he was having to hold onto him so that he didn’t fall out.  Not Jack’s favorite.

And back to the slides again.

After a fun morning at the stockyards we went to lunch and then for Papa and Jack to get ice cream. 
It was, as usual, a super fun day and special to spend time with my sweet dad and the boys awesome Papa.  That night Jackson asked me if Papa could come live with us.  When I told him probably not he simply replied, “well, what if Nana and Freckles came with him?”  So, Papa, the offer stands. . .
