One of the best days for Trevin in kindergarten was Texas Day. They saw a demonstration of branding (on wood). Several cowboys put on a show...Germanator rope a stuffed cow, Cowboy Steve bull dogged it (knocked it on it’s side) and Armadillo Lance pretend branded it. Then they did some singing, learned about brands and ranches and had a stampede. They made a stick horse and a bandana, did some Texas games and dancing, played horseshoes and of course, rode the pony.
A history lesson for any & all - this year was the 180th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico in 1836 at Washington on the Brazos. It was March 2, 1836 when 59 delegates bravely met in Washington, Texas to make a formal declaration of independence from Mexico. From 1836 until 1846, the Republic of Texas proudly existed as a separate nation.
