Although the train ride was long and hot, we made it to the stockyards with only one hiccup: Our train was robbed! It was actually a staged robbery with some pretty funny gun fighters.
An example of one of their jokes:
train robber: that is some mouth you got there, what happened to your teeth?kid: they fell outtrain robber: did you put them under your pillow for the tooth fairy?kid: yestrain robber: did you get money for them?kid: yestrain robber: does your mom know your selling body parts?
ha ha ha... I thought it was funny!
As it turned out, it was actually a reverse robbery as one of the robbers came through the train car and handed all the children a souvenir piece of phony money. After the robber came through, the sheriff came through and deputized all of the children by giving them a sticker that looked like a badge. Although the guns firing frightened Oliver, he quickly recovered and enjoyed it as much as the other children.
After arriving in Ft. Worth, we cooled down in an air conditioned shop with root beer floats; Oliver however, ordered a cookie of which he enjoyed every last morsel. While there, Ace had his picture taken with a real cowboy.
We did some looking around and were able to see a herd of long horn cattle driven right down the street in front of us.
Despite Oliver missing his nap, he was an absolute angel all day down to the very last minute when he quickly fell fast asleep in his crib. Thanks for inviting us on the train Aunt Tricia! I also need to thank my mother-in-law for the pictures. Today I accidentally broke one of the cardinal rules of motherhood and forgot my camera...I couldn't believe it! Thanks Francie!
