THURSDAY JUNE 25, 2020 - GOODBYE WOODLAND PARK HELLO CHEYENNE WYOMING!!!!

               Today we got up and drove a pleasant drive all the way to Cheyenne Wyoming!!  We stopped for a brief break in Fort Collins at the temple.  It was gorgeous, just like we expected.  Then we finished the drive to our campground.   And let me tell you that when I saw the sign that said they were the Pyro City I almost peed my pants!!!  I LOVE fireworks!!!!                                                                                                                                                                                      Our campground is called Terry Bison Ranch. It is amazing here. So amazing that after we set up the trailer, we didn't rest from the drive.  We went straight to play!!!!  We had so much fun that we played all night.  Then around 9 pm we came home exhausted.                                                                            The first thing we did was explore the petting zoo.  I call it a petting zoo but it's really a ranch.  They farm so many animals here.  There are peacocks walking everywhere here.  They drop their feathers so we walked around collecting them.

Then we had to try out their parks!!  There are 2 parks here.  So much fun!!! These parks are so old school.  They are the kinds of parks I played on when I was little.  The swings go higher.  The slide is faster.  The corners are sharper:)))  They are so not kid proof and I loved them.

I bought us tickets to go on a train tour to see the whole ranch.  This ranch is wonderful.  It has a sweet history and is thriving today.  If you are ever in the area, this ranch is worth the stop. On our train ride we saw bulls, camels, horses and BISON!!!!.  We didn't just see the bison, we got to feed them.  It was an experience we will never forget!!! I think their tongues were our favorite part.  They are super long and sand paperie with lots of slobber:)))

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        That was a blast!!!!  We hit the trading post after our tour and then walked around and took funny pictures:))                                                                                                                                                                 We went back to the parks for more fun after the trading post. We had so much fun that Taj was super dirty:)))) Like I said the parks aren't the safest.  Taj was playing on the circle thing and he fell off and bit the inside of his lip. Poor little guy.  He was so upset when he saw the blood. We cleaned it really well and helped him to calm down.  It was sad for everyone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I signed us up for a wagon ride.  Two beautiful horses came to our campsite and picked us up!!! They took us all over the campsite then dropped us off at the onsite restaurant for dinner.                  There was a rainbow before we went in for dinner!!!                                                                                                                           SCOTTY THE GREAT ate bison for dinner!!!                                                 

After we fed our stomachs, we walked down the hill to feed the baby cows!!!!!  It was the funnest experience. We all got a warmed bottle of milk for the cows.  Then, the workers let out 2 cows at a time so that 2 of us could get the cows to start eating.  After your cow started eating, you had to walk back to the corral and make sure that the cow followed you while he was eating.  We were all laughing so hard.  It was adorable.  At one point the worker taught Taj to hit the other cows on the head if they were trying to still his  cows food. It was hilarious to see Taj smacking the cows on the head.  I hope I never forget that memory.

After we fed the cows we took Scotty around to see the animals.  He thought it was pretty cool.  

Our Sunset!!
