A Day at Lazy 5 Ranch

Christi, Jordan and Madison were visiting for the weekend, and it was a beautiful day on Saturday. So we all packed into the car and went to Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville, NC. (http://www.lazy5ranch.com/) Lazy 5 ranch is a place with over 700 animals and is a type of "drive thru" zoo, where you can drive your car through the park and all of the animals come to your car so you can feed them...or you can visit the park by riding on a wagon and feeding all of the animals from the wagon. The idea of emu and lama heads sticking in our car was not too appealing, to we opted for the wagon ride option. The kids loved seeing the lamas, emus, deer, rhino, goats, giraffes, zebras and various types of cows and buffalo. Some pictures from the day are below. Isabel checking out the animals off the side of the wagon. Cameron feeding a lama off the side of the wagon. Meghan, Cameron and Isabel feeding some of the animals.

This was one of the highlights of the day. Jason put Cameron on his shoulders for a closer work. Jason, Meghan, Cameron and Isabel on the wagon.
