The Stars At Night Are Big And Bright...

Although close in vicinity to Dallas...Fort Worth was much more welcoming.  We spent the afternoon walking through their beautiful botanic garden, witnessed a real live cattle drive, dined at H3 Ranch, had a glass of wine at Cowtown Winery & even took in a rodeo!

The O'Babbitt's at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden
This was such a relaxing place to visit...we couldn't believe it was free

Fort Worth Stockyard's daily Cattle Drive
Katie was expecting more of a stampede, rather than a slow stroll
& Babbitt was hoping for some lively music to accompany the cattle as they walked

Babbitt drinking a mug of Buffalo Butt Beer at H3 Ranch
We also split Nine Miles Of Dirt Road, Ranch Fries & a House Salad

Babbitt with his Lone Star Beer at the Stockyards Championship Rodeo
Neither of us are true beer loves, but we couldn't leave Texas without giving this beer a whirl

The O'Babbitt's after the rodeo
We were both hoping for a bit more bull riding & less calf roping and dialog from the Rodeo Clown
We had to root for the bulls & calves every time
