Lazy 5 Ranch

Friday we went to the Lazy 5 Ranch. It is this crazy place just outside of Charlotte. They have over 700 animals. They have giraffes, zebras, a rhinoceros, deer, sheep, goats, buffalos and many more. I am embarrassed to say that I couldn't even identify many of the animals! The animals are just out in the open and come right up to you and eat out of your hand. I was so impressed with Harper, because he wasn't scared of the animals at all. We met the Morrow's there. We hadn't met Lyla yet, so we were excited for Harper and Lyla to play! We brought a picnic lunch. Luckily the weather was warmer than it was supposed to be because it was really cold!

Harper feeding an antelope
Harper feeding a deer. He actually got bit by a deer. He cried for a bit but he got over it. He just had a little blood on his thumb. The next day a line of teeth marks were visible. Poor little guy!
Feeding the yak (maybe)

This was my buddy. He ate half of my bucket of food!
Harper was not so sure of the GIANT cow.
Here is the GIANT cow, Johnny licking my jacket.
Harper took this picture, but it is the only one of Allen!
Giraffes
These animals were crazy. They were just hanging out by the trial and coming up to your car or wagon for food.Zebra with his head in a car!

We had fun that day. I'm glad we got to see you guys and meet Harper. I just wish Lyla had felt better. She has been sick ever since. I hope Harper didn't get sick from being around her. She has a cold and had a fever for a couple of days.
