Fun at Faulkner's Ranch

A couple weeks ago we went to a free event at Faulkner's Ranch. I got an email about it and signed us up. I'm so glad I did! We had a blast! I wasn't sure if it was age appropriate for Hailey since it was pony rides and a bounce house, but it would still be fun to get out.

When I pulled up, both girls were sleeping. I had to get a picture. haha.
 They started us off with making a cowboy hat. Of course Hailey chose a blue one.

 They had the cutest rocking horses made out of barrels.

 After riding the pretend horses, we went outside to ride the real ones! On our way out, we fed some sheep and goats.



Even though the email said pony rides were for 3 and up, they left it up to me to decide if she could or not. I had to let her! She's been obsessed with horses lately.
 I actually thought she'd be way more scared. I was way more nervous than she was. They told me I could walk next to her if I wanted to, but I couldn't keep up! haha. So I stepped back and prayed that she'd be fine. And she was! All the practice on the merry go rounds paid off.
Listen close for the "yeehaw!". She was yeehawing the whole time. haha
Then we got a hotdog for lunch- Hailey's favorite.
 Emma had lunch too.
After lunch, we tried out the bounce house. At first there was another kid in there with her.

 I was so nervous she was going to break something.
 She loved following him around and falling down from him bouncing her.
 
 The other boy got out and she had it all to herself. I felt a little more confident in her after that. And she went crazy jumping and giggling.
 They had the cutest playground that we played on for a while.

 Then we raced some ducks.
Hailey practiced milking a cow. It was too cute.
 We had so much fun at Faulkner's Ranch. It was my first big outing all by myself with two kids, and I rocked it. Maybe I can do this mother of two thing after all.
 They do the pony rides and bounce house during pumpkin season too. You can bet we'll be going back. Hailey still talks about riding the horse two weeks later.
