Maddie wondering why the Elk is so close to us. I might be wondering that, too!

Once again the deer found us.

As one of our final "field trips" of the summer of 2009, we traveled to the heart of Amish Country to the Rolling Ridge Ranch. Wow, this might have been one of our best trips of the summer. The four of us piled onto a wagon pulled by two horses, Bob and Butch. On our wagon ride we each had a bucket of food that we used to feed all the different animals. Some animals ate directly from our bucket while others we had to put the food on the wagon floor. It was quiet an experience and Maddie and Ty had a wonderful time.
