Day Six

Tom got his wish today, we went for a horseback ride! It was fun and we had a great hour, but Tom realized that riding a horse is a lot harder on your legs than you would think. We all took a few minutes to get our legs back under us. 

On the way back to the camper, I realized that I had lost my wedding ring! It must have fallen off my hand while we were riding. The woman working there said they were going to do some trail maintenance this week and they will keep an eye out for it.

We also went to the Planes of Fame museum at the Grand Canyon Valle Airport. Tom was in heaven with all the planes. There was a training wall that showed where all the fuel systems and such went. He could have been there for days. Jake and I found a ravens nest outside the hanger so we stood there and watched them awhile. Jake started a new collection today, pins. He got one of a A-10 Warthog.

Next stop, the Deer Farm! Dan was not interested, but I made him go anyway. The boys were wild about feeding the deer. You go in there and feed them like a petting zoo. They act just like goats! They had a bunch of kinds of deer, donkeys, llamas, buffalo, and a camel! One of the deer had her baby while we were there and we got to watch the whole thing! We finally had to leave because we were starving.

They are Fallow Deer but the boys say that they are just goats painted like deer.

The new Mommy and her Baby!

Tom's new Elk friend.

We got gas at an old station where the guy only accepted cash and had to come out and make sure you weren't going to steal his gas. Tom was thrilled to get to use the old pumps.

Mac n cheese and Spam tonight! The boys went and rode the bikes at the campground while I cleaned up the dishes. Dan and I went to the campground store to see about getting a new ring but they didn't have any we liked. We got some salt and pepper shakers instead.

Sitting here waiting until 7 when the boys want to go swimming, so they can go when the lights in the pool are on.
