Lazy 5 Ranch

After church today (our entire family's first trip together) we quickly hurried home, changed clothes and headed to Mooresville to meet Pawpaw, Deborah, Denny, Kristin, and the cousins as Savannah calls them. I had heard great things about the Lazy 5 ranch and we definitely had a blast. If only it had been a little warmer . . . I definitely get the loser mom of the year award as we showed up without any jackets or even a blanket for Preston. Thankfully Deborah let us borrow a towel and then her jacket for Preston to keep him warm. It's been quite a long time since I laughed as hard as I did today. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon.

Uncle Denny holding Savannah up to feed the giraffe.

If only I had the picture of Dave pulling down part of the tree and falling on top of Deborah to go with this one. At least Savannah finally got the leaves from the tree to feed the giraffe. :)

Here is Dillon and Maddie feeding the ostrich.

This was one of the many animals we fed from the wagon. I have never seen such huge animals that were so calm with people. They would come running up to the wagon and then start eating right from your hands! The only guidelines were that you had to feed the birds from the bucket and not feed the zebras (they bite)! The funniest parts were when teh animnals would reach in the wagon under your leg, grab the bucket of food, and just start eating! It was hilarious to watch.

Crazy cousins

Notice the face . . . I think she was just cold and tired because she really LOVED seeing the camels!

It was such a fun day. Thanks Dad and Deborah for treating us to a fun afternoon!
