Howdy From Cowtown! Don’t you love his Easter Bonnet? Yesterday we had to take Dude’s (that’s what Pa has nicknamed him, you know we nickname everyone in this family) hat back to exchange it for a larger size. While we were in the Stockyards, we had some bar-b-q at Riskey’s. When we were through eating we sat on a bench under a shade tree trying to decide what we wanted to do next. First Born announced that she wanted to see a horse. A woman walking down the sidewalk overheard her and told us that the Budweiser Clydesdales were in a barn at the end of an alley close to where we were. She was with the group caring for the horses and said it would be fine for us to come down and see them. Talk about a treat!!! If you have read my blog for awhile you probably know that I love, love, love the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials so you can imagine how excited I was. First Born didn’t even know what a Clydesdale was. I’m not sure how you live to be 30 years old and have no idea what a Clydesdale is…boy, was she shocked at the size of them.
Pay close attention to First Born’s nervous expressions in the next few photos. LOL!
This was the friendliest horse of the entire team and wouldn’t leave Jude alone. The horse was truly in love with him. We laughed so hard. Look at the babys face!!!! LOL!
There were a few other people in the barn and they just stood back and watched this horse with the baby. It was amazing to see.
I missed a few really good pictures because I was a little nervous that the horse was going to bite my little cowboy. I also blurred a few because I was laughing so hard.
First Born put herself between the horse and the baby and the pretty Clydesdale was still trying to get to Jude.
Guess who else was there? The Budweiser Dalmatian! He was posing for photos and never once got out of the golf cart. Adorable!
Jude preferred the dog over the horses. He loves dogs since he is around Gus all of the time.
We had a great time in the barn with the animals, one we won’t forget.
