Adventures with Mimi (and Poppi)- Part 2

Friday morning we got to do something I knew Hailey would LOVE! We went to Lazy Five Ranch! It's sort of a zoo I guess, but with more exotic animals: zebras, giraffes, emus, llamas, pot belly pigs...You get to go on a wagon ride and feed them and then there's a petting zoo with all kinds of other animals too. It's so fun and Hailey has been asking to go to the zoo after watching Curious George Goes to the Zoo so I knew she would love it!
When we first got there she was just amazed at all of the different animals. We walked thru part of the petting zoo before our wagon ride and she got to feed the goats. She asked to feed them animal crackers like we did in Tennessee but we had been given feed for them. She loved seeing and feeding them. There were big goats, baby goats and sheep too!

When it was time for our wagon ride, Hailey was amazed at how big the horses were! She was so excited to feed animals. The emus were right by the gate waiting for food, one even pecked Ryan's shoulder when he moved the food bucket away!

We fed buffalos,

giraffes,

and just enjoyed the ride,

but this little girl's favorite part was, hands down, seeing the rhino. She was so excited to see it after seeing one on George and hasn't stopped talking about him since. She really listened to what our wagon guide said about him too because she can tell you he likes to roll in the mud, sleep and eat watermelon (really he said watermelon rines, but when you're two you only hear watermelon)

After we passed him she kept wanting to go back!
After our wagon ride we went thru the rest of the petting zoo and saw a tortoise, kangaroos, lemurs and a bunch of birds. By that point Hailey was exhausted so we headed back to Mimi's house for lunch and a nap and then to celebrate her birthday that evening.
It was a busy day, but oh so fun! Thank you Mimi and Poppi!
