Walking The Cow
"Lucky stars
In your eyes
I'm walking the cow"
- A Camp
After yet another fun morning at The Museum of Nature and Science (today's theme was Dino Dash) we headed to downtown Dallas. Located in the heart of the city Pioneer Plaza is an unforgettable stop on a beautiful day. Just outside the front door of the Dallas Convention Center is downtown's largest public open space. Commemorating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas and cattle to market, the park features native plants and trees, a flowing stream and a larger than life bronze cattle drive. Each bronze piece - 40 longhorn cattle herded by 3 cowboys on horses - was created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas.
Not only are the cattle and cowboys fascinating, there is a waterfall and stream with stepping stones. The kids had a blast trying to jump across the water. Only 2 out of the 8 little feet got wet! The place must be beautiful in the spring once the vines and shrubs are in full bloom. I will let y'all know...
