Ranch Part Two

Here are the ostriches (which grabbed the feed cup and yanked it right out of Ryan's hand) and the minature donkeys which were a sedate as a mammel ever could be. We also had great fun feeding the Lorakeets (Ryans favorite) which look like minature colorful parrots. The came and landed all over your body and drank from a little cup the kids held - so fun!

Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch

Yesterday we had great fun at an ostrich ranch (the largest in North America) that we had passed on the freeway at least 15 times since living here in AZ. With Don gone and spring break upon us, we decided there was no better time than now and left the ranch wondering why we waited so long. The trip was a total success, except for the fact that my camera ran out of batteries before we got to feeding the lorakeets (grrr) which just means we will just have to go back! Here is the first few animals (we actually had fun feeding everything BUT the ostriches which we too aggressive for our tastes). The deer we slobbery and the goats were noisy, but it didn't stop the kids from going back 3 and 4 times to empty their cups!

Look-Alikes

Especially now that Tyler has started to smile, we are delighted to see his resemblance to Ryan. None of our children have much similarity to each other, apart from the blond hair of the boys. This mimics my own family, who looks as alike as George Washington and Gearge Washington Carver. Of course, Ryan looks nothing like his baby pictures, so the mystery remains. Here are two of Ryan and two of Tyler.
