McKee Ranch

October is my favorite month in Las Vegas because the weather is outstanding and there is SO much to do!  There are pumpkin patches (although no native pumpkins) everywhere and a million farm animals to go visit.  One Saturday, our family outing was to a new ranch The McKee Ranch.  

Harper instantly fell in love when she noticed the large play yard.
We arrived fairly early so there were not many people around.  I love that her feet are only millimeters off the ground.
While Harper was playing she spotted a little bunny and FREAKED out.  I had purchased a bucket of carrots; Harper desperately tried to feed the bunny.  It went pretty well until the bunny stole the carrot and Harper was too scared to get it back.
Harper quickly made another friend.  I thought she would be more hesitant around the pig but she was just annoyed it wouldn't eat her carrot.

We also purchased a pony ride.  Harper HATED it. That was $5.00 we'll never get back.
From there we spent some time walking around feeding the various animals.
Harper became a pro.
London found a horse that was more her size.
And LOVED when her older sister rode with her. 
They had the worlds oldest merry go round.  It was so ghetto and reminded me of my childhood. Safety regulations have ruined everything.
While Harper spun, London tried feeding the horses.  She was less of a fan than her sister.

Overall, it was a nice was to spend an hour or so.  It will be better when London is a little older but to be honest I felt nickel and dimed.  It was $20 to get in which included a pumpkin, $5.00 for pony ride, $1.00 for carrots, up to $15.00 for face painting (we passed), $40 for pictures.  It just makes everything less fun when you have to dish out more and more money to do little things.  Especially when I knew there was the BEST pumpkin patch I'd ever been to only weeks away!
