Kristen and her kids (Olivia, Christopher, Ainsley and Analiese) arrived at Nonna and Pop Pop's on Monday morning for our outing to the Lazy 5 Ranch. Emily and Ainsley, not only cousins but best friends, were so excited to see each other. Also joining us were Madison, Jed, Daniel, Mrs Walkowiac and her grandkids (Blakely and Hailey). Daniel (he's 14) was very sweet to take orders and made sandwiches for the little kids - he called the sandwich bags "off brand" and used scotch tape to seal them shut, but not before labeling each child's sandwich with their name in permanent marker. Engineer in the making? It was sweet he went to so much trouble. It was about a 30 minute drive to the ranch. We saw cattle and a longhorn as we drove up to the ranch. The animals even came to greet us at our car... you think they were hungry? Imagine the excitement!
We parked by a cage of ostriches... the kids loved that! As you can see, they were huge!
And here is our picnic spot. Everyone is very excited!
Now, if you have a small group, you can take the tour of the ranch in your own car. But if you have a very large group, you can tour the ranch in style... Here we are waiting our turn.
And here we are getting into our horse drawn wagon! How cool is that!
We got big buckets to feed the animals with. David can't wait!
Look at this guy!
The giraffes were the most impressive. The pot bellied pigs, with their bellies dragging along the ground were kind of gross. Oh yes, there were zebras too! What a great outing!
