Lazy 5 Ranch

 

We went to the lazy 5 ranch with Zander's class last week. It was alot of fun. I thought it was more fun than the zoo. We rode on a horse drawn carriage. There were 450 exotic animals. Most would come and let you feed them from your hand. We fed giraffe's, water buffalo, emus, deer and antelope. There were many more. There was a yak that followed Zander around the whole time. You had to watch the emu's or they would take your whole bucket. As you can see, Zander had a great time.

Zoo

Zander's class went to the zoo last week and all of the parents went along. We had a great day and alot of fun. It was really hot that day. We did get to see alot of animals. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures.

Science Museum

I was able to attend the Zander's field trip to the science museum. It was alot of fun. We went to a program about insects. The children learned all about different kinds of creepy crawlies. At the end of the program they got to see some of them up close. Zander's favorite thing was the meal worms. He picked them up with plastic tweezers and put them in a bowl and looked at them with a magnifying glass. He did that for a long time. He also played bug dress up. Next we went out to a music area. They had a life size piano that the children could play with their feet and a harp with invisible strings.
Zander and I went to the health section. He loved the dentist exhibit. He was able to play dentist and use the drill and water suction. I didn't think I would ever get him out of there. We also went outside to visit the animals at the barn and the river otter. It was a great day.

bowling with three year olds?

Whose idea was it to take 2,3 and 4 year olds bowling? Granted, now they have this metal contraption that you can put the ball up on and the kid can push it so it actually goes all the way down to the pins, but they are not very good at having to sit and wait for their turn. It was quite an adventure but I don't think we will be going back anytime soon.
