Today, we rode the hills of old Wyoming for the Old West Dinner Cookout. Meeting at the Roosevelt Corrals, we loaded up on the wagons and hit the trail.
Along the way, we had a guide who told us the history of the land we were riding on, but in a quite humorous way. Even the kids were interested in history the way he taught it.
But, we ran into buffalo. The encourage the buffalo to leave us alone, the driver waiting until the rest of the wagons we caught up to us, then gave a loud yell as he drove the horses. The buffalo yielded to the wagon train.
Arriving at the location of the cookout, we were served all you could eat steaks with all the fixins. Absolutely delicious. My 7 year old boy scarfed down 2 of the steaks.
During dinner, they had a singer who sang old cowboy songs. Me and my 4 year old daughter two-stepped to David Ball's Amigo.
After dinner, they had a campfire where you could get fresh cowboy coffee.
Then came the highlight of the night, a cowboy show around the campfire. The staff told the worst jokes you ever heard that had your sides splitting and the cowboy singer sang a few more songs.
The night ended with everyone singing Home on the Range.
After that, we saddled up and rode back to the corrals. A favorite night for the family on the Great American Roadtrip.
