{Picky Pair's Texas Cowboy}

{The "World Famous" Cowboy: Mr. Gish}

As promised once we hit the Texas border our obsession became finding a cowboy for the boys. We finally found the "real" deal, one that met with both the boy's approval, in Cowboy Mr. Gish. Mr. Gish is the owner of The Gish Museum of the Old West, in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Mr. Gish's collection is quite famous and people travel from all over the world to view it. We were lucky to have stumbled upon it, and the boys refused to believe they were even in Texas until their introduction to the famous Mr. Gish.
