A not so lazy day!

Today we went back to the Lazy 5 Ranch. I had taken the kids back in August but Jonathon had never been, so we took another family day today! The ranch is home to over 750 animals from 6 continents, and can be viewed from your vehicle on a 3.5 mile long safari ride! We bought 2 buckets of feed, and fed them by bucket and by hand. It's an amazing learning experience for everyone!

It's amazing to know that this (owned by Henry Hampton) once was not open to the public, and in 1993 it opened its doors for everyone to enjoy with having only 5 (lazy - ha) employees!! As a teen I used to drive by this land before it ever opened and gaze at the giraffes and zebras wandering leisurely around and I'd wonder what it must be like behind those gates. We're fortunate to live close by!!
