Baby Animal Days

Okay so here goes MAJOR MAJOR catch-up over the last month! (Amanda and Ty consider the next 6 posts your letters for the week! :))

I had been wanting to take the kids to the American West Heritage Center Baby animal days, but didn't really want to try to manage 2 kids there alone (Bobby was going to be working), so I was so happy when Mindy called on Sat. and asked if I'd like to come with her family! The kids LOVED it and Tyler was so sad every time we had to leave one thing and go see something else. The poor kid could have stayed all day!

Me trying to convince Kylee that it's okay to touch the calf. Tyler wasn't afraid at all and just jumped right in petting (and trying to feed) every animal he could get his hands on.


PRECIOUS little Macey smiling for the camera! (She's just a couple months younger than Kylee so we get to play together a lot!)


Baby pony




Mindy helping Tyler pet the lamb


Kylee WAY more interested in the girls' hat than the animal she was holding.


After a little re-direction she noticed there was animal there.


How adorable is this?! Mindy got this picture right as the lamb licked little Macey right on the face!


Royce helping Tyler feed a calf through the fence.


All the piggies huddled up in the corner


Macey, Kylee and Tyler getting all up in those pigs business...


...which of course made them start to squeal, which in turn terrified the pants off Kylee.


Baby goats (i'm sure there's a technical farm name for that, but I don't care enough to go look it up)


Kylee really trying to get a good look at the animal on the other side of this fence.


Okay maybe it'll be better if I pull these bars apart...


Mindy picked up Tyler so he could watch the train come around the tracks and when he saw it for the first time his face just LIT up like Christmas morning!


My favorite boy in the universe!


The train that tyler would have ridden over and over and over (repeated a million times)


Kylee sharing goldfish with little Macey while waiting in line to ride the train


Adorable Ellett family on the train: Royce, Mindy and Macey


Tyler SO excited to be on the train! As we were getting on he just kept saying over and over, "I'm SO excited! I'm SO excited!"


Kylee going for a ride!


Royce helping Tyler rope the cow!





Wahoo! He did it!


The beautiful Clydesdale horses that pulled us in a wagon for a ride


On said wagon


Baby bear cubs visiting from Yellowstone (it was Yellowstone right?)

Kylee trying to feed the horses some hay...


Thanks again for inviting us Ellett's we had so much fun and I couldn't have made it through the day without your help!
