Fort Worth, Texas

Jake and I went to Fort Worth, Texas this last weekend. We met up with his cousins Nelson and Suzanne! They were such a blast to hang out with!! I was honestly really skepitcal about going, just because I've never been and didn't know exactly what to expect. I was pleasantly suprised! They have a few condos in Texas, so they are really familar with the area. It was so fun to see! I now understand why everyone loves Texas! We did so much, and I wish I took more pictures to show everything we did! Here's just a few....

 

 

On our last night, we went back to the Stock Yards. It reminds me a little bit of Vegas, but just country style. The big arena in the background is where the rodeo was that we went to. It was pretty entertaining to watch!

 

 

At the rodeo

 

 

This was actually a really cool game, despite the fact that it was TCU playing, and it was SOO hot out! I probably only sat in our seats for about 30 minutes, and ended up sitting in the shade... I could not believe how hot it was that day!

 

All the fans go to Breakfast before the game... I've never seen so much purple in my life!!! Great breakfast place!! Jake loved it!!!

 



I can't remember the name of this place, but it was really good. All they serve is fahitas and enchiladas. They don't even have a menu! It was really good! The place was beautiful outside!

 



 

Jake and Nelson.... they were reliving there childhood all over again! Who knew Art museums could be highly entertaining! I have no idea what Jake was doing with his face... but it's hilarious!

 Fort Worth Stock Yards. I loved all the little cowboy shops... I really wanted me some boots!!

 

The 2nd day we went to their condo on the lake. This was there view from the balcony! We went on there jet skis, and Jake was able to try water sking for the first time. Nelson and Jake jumped off a cliff, which was pretty entertaining to watch as well.... They are seriously hilarious when they get together!

 

 

 

This is where we got to stay on the ranch...

 

On the last night we stayed in there condo, downtown Fort Worth. It was such a crazy view!

 

 

This picture is not really related, but it makes me laugh and think how small of a world Mormons live in! This picture was Suzanne and I when we were, I'm guessing, 8 or 9? We were taking a class picture for church, all the way in Connecticut!  Suzanne is second on the right... Jake's cousin Nelson met and married Suzanne in Virginia. It's crazy how small of a world it is, and I would have never thought we would one day be family!
