Good Ole Oil Ranch Fun!



Lucy's school had a field trip to the Oil Ranch today (http://www.oilranch.com/). It was so much fun. They have so many things to do to. First we went to try and milk a cow. Which Lucy absolutely refused to do. Then it was off to the hayride. During the hayride, they let you feed the cows. Lucy was finally convinced to try and give the cows some hay. She wasn't too sure and the cows were awfully pushy. Grace was in awe of the cows. They were huge!

Next, we were off to the pony rides. Lucy did so good. She was quite proud of her horse. After the pony rides, we went into the petting/hay barn. They had baby chickens and goats. They also had one end of the barn full of hay and a hay loft the kids could climb around on. It was great!After the hay, we had our picnic lunch with our friends. I have never seen Lucy eat her food so fast. She was ready to go, go, go!



Finally, it was time for the train ride. The train took us around the lake. We saw lots of ducks, turtles, and a swan.



The kids then played on the swing set, slide, and the monkey bars. Grace had had enough, so she decided it was time for a nap!



By the end, all the kids were tired and ready for a great, cool treat...snow cones! Even I had one.



It was a really fun day. I wish I would have taken Lucy's picture when we got home. She was filthy! You can always tell it has been a good day, by how dirty the bathwater is at night :).

If anyone is interested in making a trip our direction, we can plan a visit! I highly recommend it for anyone with little kids! We didn't even do the maze, putt-putt golf, or the second petting zoo! Just let me know!

It looks like Oil Ranch was so fun. I can only imagine how exhausted the girls were after a long day of hay rides, cows, petting zoos, and playing.

PS-We will be in town next week for a trip to the zoo. Let me know if you want to join us on Friday.
