We went to Texas this past week to visit Matt's friend Jacob and his wife Anne. Texas was not what I had expected. The town where Jacob lives is so pretty. It had rolling hills and trees everywhere. It was so warm and pretty it made me wish I lived there. We went to visit the Texas famous Blue Bell Ice Cream factory where we saw how this number 3 in the nation ice cream was made and also had a nice little sample at the end of the tour. We visited Anne's parent's who happen to have water buffalo on their ranch. Matt fed one of them a treat and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. The water buffalo's tongue wrapped around Matt's hand like a snake to eat the snack. It gave me the heeby geebies. Then the excitement came. We got our first time experience being Texas Ranchers. One of the baby water buffalo escaped the pen and Matt and Jacob went down to help guide it back to the pen. While that was happening the dogs started attacking the goats so we were trying to save the poor goats who were screaming what actually sounded like "hellllp". It was very exciting. Next was the Alamo where Preston got a nice Davy Crockett coon skin hat which he wore the whole time we walked around the Alamo. We also went to Dallas and visited the JFK 6th floor Museum which was so interesting. Matt took me to where he used to live and he reminisced for a little while.

We also went to Fort Worth where we got to see the nations longest run cattle drive. It's really just for tourists now but they take the Long Horn cows around the block like they used to long ago. Preston was excited to see the horses and very intrigued by the long horns.
