Our Latest Adventure



We spent most of Monday at the Lazy5Ranch with our great friends Nick & Reba and both of our girlies. Last fall this was one of the highlights for Joe & I- watching Alathea squeal in delight at all the animals. This year was even better. Another year older, now Alathea could say the animal names, make their various animal noises and even feed them. She seemed like such a big girl sitting next to her Daddy on the wagon ride, holding her OWN bucket of food for the animals.



We started our adventure at the petting zoo. Alathea was hilarious...running back & forth looking at every animal, clapping & yelling what seemed to be her 18-month old version of "come here!". She wasn't at all hesitant to pet & feed every animal.



Yikes! They already had fall decor set up! I'm still in denial that summer is over. Anyways, we "tried" to get some good pumpkin shots of the girls. We got some precious ones of Kathryn....but, we'll have to go back & try again for my Alathea :)




The wagon ride was a highlight...Alathea loved the horses pulling the wagon & loved going FAST! She's so funny...she'd even say "weeeee" as the horses galloped. Alathea also enjoyed her own bucket of food for the animals, which she taste-tested of course (and seemed to like). She fed most of the animals herself. As you can see, they had some pretty cool animals.



This is Alathea with her Daddy waving good-bye to the animals.



Our Buddies...we're so glad our girls are buddie's too! By the way, little Kathryn was there too, Nick's got her in a backpack!


Lastly, Alathea was too funny in this picture. She wasn't sure what to do when the large birds "attacked" her food :)

Praise God for another fun family day! We're hoping to go back to the Ranch again this fall...its way to fun to do only once a year. We'd love to have ya join us!

I LOVE LAZY 5! If it has four open your hand and pour... but if it has two it could peck you... I know the rules...
Miss you guys!
