The American West Heritage Center Baby Animal Days has been a family tradition for many years. This year Tiffany, Emily, and Colby worked there during the festival. Colby was able to hang out for a few hours before he went to work at his first job at the concession stand. Emily also worked at the concession stand and the gift shop while Tiffany sold tickets all day.
The kids love going and seeing all the different types of animals. They have the baby bears every year, but every time we see them they are sleeping and just lying around. This year, though, the bears were actually up and moving around and growling. The kids loved it. There was a guy who had turkeys and a chicken that were as tame as pets. The kids loved taking turns holding the chicken.
We had to go back a few times to get to see everything due to it being so busy. Brooklyn was bound and determine to ride the train and ponies. We came back on Saturday early to get in line before it opened and got on both really quick. Brooklyn was happy we were able to ride the train and ponies. Charlotte is also still able to ride the ponies and she loved it as well.
The next best thing at the end of the day was panning for gold. Logan and Charlotte were able to find little pieces of fool's gold. Brooklyn looked like she peeped her pants because she got so wet from the river water.
The kids saw the buffalo and asked if we could take a wagon ride and see them. We have never done the Bison Tour before so we thought this would be interesting. We were able to get our hook up with tickets because I knew a cute ticket lady. It was fun seeing the buffalo. They came up and sniffed our hands!
It was pretty cool to learn more about the bison and see them up close. We love going to Baby Animal Days.
