Yum!<\/p>\n<p>After we got ready, we headed off to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortworthstockyards.org\/\">Fort Worth Stockyards<\/a>, a touristy area now but cute AND we got to see them <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortworthstockyards.org\/Business.aspx?bId=25&amp;type=1\">drive a small herd of Texas Longhorns<\/a> down the old, brick road (they do this two times a day).\u00c2\u00a0 Then, we walked around a bit, the kids went to a petting zoo, and it rained on us a bit.<\/p>\n<p>After the Stockyards, and a quick Starbucks fix to satisfy my husband&#8217;s coffee addiction, we headed to the <a href=\"http:\/\/fortworthmuseum.org\/\">Fort Worth Museum of Science and History<\/a>, a newer museum to the area that is super cool! If I lived here I would get a membership and visit weekly. It was a blast for the kids and us (Dave in particular).

It was yummy &#8211; chopped beef sandwiches, beans, coleslaw, and a frosty beer.<\/p>\n<p>Back at Micah&#8217;s the kids took baths, got in PJs, watched a little movie, and hit the sack. While the men folk hit the ceiling &#8211; literally, I ran out to a cute grocery store called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralmarket.com\/\">Central Market<\/a> and got some fun stuff (Texas Peaches for .88\/lb, Bison sausage for breakfast burritos in the morning, All Terrain Bite &amp; Sting Soother Spray for Kenz&#8217;s enormous mosquito bites, a couple melons, and grapes for the car ride tomorrow). Dave and Micah went to work installing can lights in Micah&#8217;s kitchen. And at midnight &#8211; ice cream and peaches and off to bed! Another late night&#8230; tomorrow a &#8220;quick&#8221; drive to Bartlesville, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p>Micah: Our good friend from the high school years.
