Old Nevada or Bust

"Field Trip Friday" actually took place on Thursday this week. I know, we're total rebels!


Bonnie Springs is always good to us. We were surrounded by lots of friends and the weather could not have been more beautiful. Highlights of the trip were:
  • Zack announcing "It stinks in here!" as soon as we entered the petting zoo.
  • Ben wearing his "way too cool for you" Transformer sunglasses..
  • Kaitlin grabbing Ben's arm when a goat approached and said (in a very high, flirtatious voice) "Oh, I'm scared!"
  • Joshua almost getting eaten by a deer.
  • Me talking with my sexy voice. I was lucky I had one!
  • The turtle with his leg up in the air... we figured he was doing tortoise yoga.
  • The donkey who gave us several demonstrations of an actual "Hee-Haw!"
  • Ryder crying the entire time :)
  • The bull named Houdini.
  • Vaughn almost running into the nasty lake! Should have brought the leash!
  • Not having to pay a penny for a petting zoo that wants to charge $20 a car. I don't think so.
Rachel and Ashley + kids weren't in any of the pictures because we got split up. Where did you guys go?

That looks like so much fun. I love that Ben's "girlfriend" held on tight to his arm when she was scared! So cute!

Why did the turtle have her leg up?

Livie was kind of obsessed with the animals, and wouldn't leave the deer. It was really fun though. They had some really cute animals there. I love Kaitlin's Oh I'm scared! She is learning early. And your voice really was sexy! :)

We have NO IDEA why the turtles leg was up in the air. It didn't move and it was inches off the ground. We figured he was doing some sort of early morning yoga stretch.

How did you get in for free? Was it because of the sexy voice?

I wondered the same thing- how did you get in for free? Fun day! I'm jealous of the weather.
