So, we loaded up the girls in their matching shirts (I had to buy them matching plaid shirts so they looked "country" + they were on sale) and headed to the ranch. When we arrived, I was a little suspect because there were large barns with very large skeleton heads. I thought it was definitely geared toward older kids. But we ventured on.
We signed in and got our picture taken as a family. We almost got it. The girls were given cowboy hats. Anna wore hers almost the entire time. Celie - only for the pic.
Then we had lunch. After lunch, we headed outside to see this show that they put on. It was very HOKEY - but Celie enjoyed the music and enthusiastically. After the show was over, they announced that we could have our picture taken with the characters for $5. I wasn't interested.
We then headed to the petting farm area. Anna was in love with the bunnies. She couldn't get enough of them. So, while Bob was with Anna, Celie wanted to ride the ponies. So, we got in line for her to do that. I got one picture of her and was about to take another when I was reprimanded by a teenage with acne that I couldn't take any pictures of my daughter on the pony. That if I wanted a picture, I would have to pay $5. I told him that I thought that was ridiculous. Celie got off the pony and I went to tell Bob that I was done with this place and we could go any time. I was not happy.
Here is the rogue pic of Celie.
After Anna played and admired the bunnies some more, we coaxed the girls out to the car. We had been there a mere 1.5 hours. Bob and I agreed that we do not have to go back there again. The girls and I had a much better time at Heavenly Hill Farm. That was what I expected. Not something Hokey and money driven like Rockin' R Ranch. Live & Learn.
