The Oil Ranch

The kids had a day off from school one Friday, so we took advantage of the nice weather and drove out to the Oil Ranch. Since most other area schools were in session that day, we had the whole place to ourselves.

First order of business - the pony ride. Claire takes the reins -

Then Emma - 

The girls made new friend -

Cathy shows her prowess with the udder -

Next up - miniature golf. Claire tackles a tough one - 

Emma displays her skills -

Claire mugs for the camera while I line up the shot - 

On to feeding the cows. For an Aggie, about the only thing a longhorn steer is good for is barbecue. For the kid's sake, I let him live another day.

Emma gets down to business - 

All in all, a fun day for the kids (and the grown-ups, too!)
