Saturday afternoon, Aunt Kathy took Hayden and I to Bonnie Springs Ranch in the Red Rock area outside of Vegas. Bonnie Springs has a petting zoo, live “outlaw” gun shows, horse back riding, train rides, etc.
Hayden loved seeing all the animals. He just wasn’t so sure about them getting so close to him. There were donkeys, deer, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, etc. just walking around freely.
There were a lot of caged animals too. Wolves, alpacas, birds, miniature horses, longhorn steer, buffalo, etc.
This guy must be kind of dangerous. They have him double fenced in, had warning signs up, and he was snorting and acting a little crazy.
They had a hay bale maze.
Hayden loved feeding the ducks some of his left over popcorn from the night before. The ducks were pretty thankful too!
Waiting patiently for the train to arrive.
All Aboard! Hayden loved the train ride. So much so, we rode two times in a row.
There were wild donkeys everywhere!
We have done some shopping the last two days too. Today we were on a hunt for Hayden a new carseat. We brought his extra cheap/lightweight carseat with us and he has outgrown it. He was getting squished between his legs and he wasn’t liking it! Poor baby! We fixed that problem today! His old one will get donated and he will be comfy again!
Had to get that boy an icee for the Target trip.
**Hayden got the cut on his head at Bonnie Springs. He ran right into a fence post wrapped in chicken wire. :-(
Tonight, Mom, Granddaddy and I went down to the Casino right down the road for a little blackjack. Hayden got spoiled by his Aunt Kathy.
We have only been to the casino two times. One time I won $40 and tonight I came out even. We have all actually come out ahead or even both nights. I will take that! Cheap entertainment!
Hayden and his Granddaddy Red have become pretty good buddies.
Hayden thinks it is real fun to sit up “high” on Granddaddy Red’s couch. See all those figurines on the table, Hayden really likes those too. Makes me a nervous wreck! He actually does really good with them. There is one elephant in particular he likes to carry around. He has also discovered GR’s candy corn candy dish. I am pretty sure he has eaten about 100 of those things. I don’t blame him, they are pretty tasty!
Tomorrow is our last day here. Not much on the agenda. We are definitely ready to see Jeff! And the rest of the family. Love and miss you all!!
