It's no Safari, but How 'bout a Trip to the Stockyards?



Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Last Christmas we had a great time waking up to your company in AFRICA. We loved visiting the orphanage on Christmas day, and we were happy you got to spend the night at the lodge 'cause it meant that we got to go on Safari while you were soaking up the African sun, just the two of you...a Christmas we'll always remember!

This year we can't offer up close views of zebra and rhino in their natural habitat-but we thought we could give you a trip to the monkey house instead

to our monkey house that is...

We want to take you on Safari, TEXAS STYLE, when you come down to see us this January. On Saturday, January 17 we'll take the not so long road trip to Ft. Worth and catch a glimpse of the stockyards (a must see for anyone wanting a true Texas experience). As if that isn't enough, we can-at our leisure-visit the Kimball Art Museum and stroll the streets of Ft. Worth. When we feel hungry we'll eat Bar-b-que or chicken fried steak or, did we mention Bar-b-que? And when we're good 'n tired we'll mosey on home and jump all over you

like the monkeys we are...

it ain't Africa, but we'll make the best of what we got deep in the heart of Texas!

Merry Christmas with all our love
John and Katie, and all your little monkeys

Thank you so much for this wonderful adventure! We will look forward tp it.

I have seen the Omaha stockyards many many times. I have smelled them too. But I am told that the Fort Worth Stockyards are at least "up wind" and much more "up town".

We love hanging out with the Graham monkeys. We go all over the world to be with them. They are a lot more snuggly than any old African monkeys and they smell better too.

We are excited to see you all in January!

Love Pappa and Grandma Noodle
