Ellis Ranch
I took Sam up to Ellis Ranch in Loveland, CO yesterday because they have a holiday festival set up for kids. It was soooooo much fun. We got to ride on a tractor and hunt for candy in a huge pile of hay. I tried to get Sam to sit on Santa’s lap, but he wouldn’t have any of that. I was pretty bummed because I was hoping to get some good pictures for scrapping and I wanted one that I could send out with my Christmas cards. Oh well, I still got some cute pictures of Sam. He fed the goats and checked out the live reindeer and we roasted a marshmallow which he wouldn’t eat! He tried to ride a tricycle with the other kids but, his legs were too short to reach the pedals so he just held on while I pushed him around the track. I think his favorite thing of all was “driving” the golf cart, which of course wasn’t even part of the festival! Leave it to Sam to pick the thing he isn’t supposed to be doing……
I guess because of all the excitement Sam decided he didn’ t need a nap–wrong! So, we went across the street to play with the other Sam for awhile. Then I decided to take Sam to Longmont, CO to see the local parade of lights. It was a really good parade and I think Sam had fun. He only lasted about 45 minutes, so we left a little early. It was ok, because he got to see most of the parade and really liked all the lights. He waved and clapped and seemed to really enjoy himself. It was pretty chilly too, so I didn’t mind that we left early.
So, I guess my next task is to download the pictures from Ellis Ranch and start deciding how I want to scrap them. I’m so excited!
