Hello, my name is Baby Zapp and my
sister's name is Squirt Zapp.
This may be very hard to believe but our
mother and father took us on a cattle
drive.
Mother made my sister and me
brand new dresses out of something
she called calico.
We had to dress
just like it was the late 1800"s and
like we were pioneer kids. We got to
wear dresses and we wore some stupid
bonnets.
The horses were fun
and I put my sister on my horse and
she never fell off once.
We rode with real honest to goodness cowboys
and not just in the movies. They
used ropes called lariats but they
kept gtting mixed up and called the
the calf "doggies".
We would ride
all day and then at night the cowboys
build a big fire and some people
cooked our food right there on the
fire. It was real good and hot.
My sister got some freckles and I
got tan. No one remembered to bring a tv but
a couple of guys remembered a guitar
and so we had to sing and square
dance.
We did learn a game called horseshoes. My sister hit
a cowboy in the foot with a horseshoe
and he didn't even get mad...
Sometimes we would hear weird noises
out there. They didn't have any
bathrooms out there either.
We washed our hair in the river and we
had to use a special kind of soap so
we wouldn't kill the fish even though
we ate some for dinner.
Every day we
would move the cows farther and
farther until one day they went to a
new place altogeher and we heard that
the whole thing has to be done again
in 6 months.
Moving cows is a lot of
work and they even have dogs to help.
Real dogs. We slept in 1800's
sleeping bags right under the black
sky. Out there you could see the
whole universe in one night!
