Lazy 5 Ranch

This past week we had a "staycation" with Ryan's parents in Charlotte. We had a great time and got to lots of fun things that there normally isn't time for since we just go for weekend trips. 

One thing we did a few years ago was go to Lazy 5 Ranch. It's a fun zoo/safari type place. We used to go there on field trips when I taught kindergarten so it's even more fun now that I get to take my own kids! 

This was Hailey the first time she went. She was 2

She still talks about going the first time so I knew it was time to go again. She loved it even more! It was a rainy day and it poured during part of our wagon ride but that didn't stop her one bit

Reece has fun too! He kept throwing food to the animals or trying to feed them from his little tiny hand. Sweetness

We caught him trying to eat the animals food a few times too! 

The favorite part was definitely feeding the giraffes. In all the times I've been, the giraffes have never been so friendly or hungry. 

We even got to pet them!

And who can resist a selfie!

The excitement proved too much for Reece and he fell asleep. I love how the ostrich is following us in this pic.

After the wagon ride we went over to the petting zoo area and saw donkeys, camels, fish, all kinds of birds tortoises and goats. 

And my little animal whisperer felt bad for the baby goat who had gotten his head stuck in the fence. She and mimi had to help him. 

We had an awesome time at Lazy 5 Ranch with Mimi and Poppi! But our week of adventures was just beginning...
