March 25 – 2018 Aledo, Texas

As we wrote yesterday, we are in “Cowboy” country now. Fort Worth is “cowboy” town.

We went into town Friday evening (the 23rd), to see a rodeo. Thomas had seen one there, and it was at his suggestion that we went. It was different than anything we have tried, and quite fun. Here are some pictures and videos from the evening:



Tie-down roping



Barrel racing

Bull riding

Here are videos of Bull riding and Tie-down roping:

Saturday (the 24th), we went back to the Fort Worth historical stockyards district, to see a little more “cowboy” stuff. These are some of the things we saw:

All the cowboys are here,
because of the cows.
We were in the historical
stockyards.

This picture shows how the cowboys worked,
when hearding cows.

 

We saw a cattle drive.
The cattle are Texas longhorns.
They are good cattle for this area, because they can resist drought
(er god til at overleve i tørre områder)

 

A monument to longhorn cattle and cattlemen

We found "cowboys" in all ages. Everyone is a cowboy in Fort Worth:)








The weather was very nice all day. Almost too hot (85 degrees F (29 grader celcius))
