I have a little list of places (in my head) that I want to go to before we move. I was able to cross one of them off the list last Wednesday.
I have been to the Lazy 5 Ranch twice previously on field trips with my students, but I haven't ever taken my own kids. I was so glad that Page arranged a group trip, so we were able to ride in the wagon at the discounted rate. :) Here are a bunch of out of order pictures with some captions, but for the most part you just need to know that it's kind of like a safari where you feed the animals from the back of your wagon (or, if you want to pay less, from your car window).
The group. This is not really a good pic of anyone, and you can't see most of the kids' faces, but I felt too cheesy to say, "Hey, everyone! Look and smile!"
That's my girl! She got so brave over the course of the ride.
One week old piglet
23 hour old llama (according to our guide)
Classic Kevin face. He frequently sucks on one lip or the other.
This was in the barn before we started.
There was a petting zoo after the wagon ride. We got to feed them our leftover food pellets.
Elena really wanted to make sure that the baby goat got some food. When another goat tried to sneak in, she said, "This isn't for you! You're not a baby!"
This peacock was seriously wooing the peahen (you can see her behind him). When another peacock came too close, he chased him off.
I was lucky that the peahen walked towards our direction. It was so cool to see this display in person. You can click on the pic to make it bigger if you want.
