Here is to one adventure I will never forget!!!
We enter through the gate and was welcome by huge sweaty,
heavy breathing elks who were STARVING!!!!
I would be standing up trying to help Kora feed these massive animals and all of a sudden I would feel someone breathing on me! It was just not someone - but something large that was drooling all over my arm - No it was not my little son that I was carrying in the baby carrier.
IT WAS AN ELK - in my personal bubble!
BEGGING for FOOD!
(this picture was not zoomed in any manor)
Once I learned NOT to sit on the side - I quickly found a new home in the center part of the wagon - out of the reach of animals... so I thought! When all of a sudden a warm wet feeling brushed across my feet. At first I thought wow just like a foot message until I snapped into reality to realize I was NO WHERE NEAR a SPA! WHAT WAS THAT feeling across my feet...
a deer... Licking the feed off the floor of the wagon and my FEET! Again these animals were starving and begging for more food!
Anne was smart and knew how to keep these large creatures off of her feet! She just poured it into their mouths like a never ending vending machine.
This time I screamed "REALLY??? YEAKK - WHAT WAS THAT?"
Oh - now the cow wants to take a turn at my feet!
That's nice! As I hear giggling from the adorable girls sitting beside me!?>?>
Oh no it finally clicked - you guessed it - those beautiful little girls were getting a kick out of pouring the feed on the floor and watching the animals come and eat it - no really even better yet - the crazy lady (me) that would jump about 10 miles high every time I got licked.
and again!!!!
I was so thrilled when we got to feed an animal that was not licking my toes until I realized this guys rack was to big for him to fit his head under the wagon bench. Needless to say - I WAS NOT SAD!
Then we ran out of feed - Each paid person gets one bucket of feed for free - after that is was $2.00 for one bucket of feed. Poor Kora kept bagging for more feed (as you can read from her story below) - But happy mommy was not even a little bite tempted to buy her more (especially since I left my money in the van). I had enough foot tongue messages for A LIFE TIME!
Even though I was very overwhelmed with the amount of animals licking my feet - Kora had a BLAST and I would take her and Cray back in a HEART BEAT! or anyone else that would like a true adventure not only at Rolling Ridge Ranch - but with this crazy momma - who does not like animals in any form :o)
