Lazy 5 Ranch
Fletcher and I went to the Lazy 5 Ranch outside of Mooresville on Monday morning. This is our 4th or 5th trip. It is such a cool place and I highly recommend this trip! You can drive through the huge animal park in your car and get a close up view of zebras, a rhino, giraffes, large birds, and lots of deer-like animals, much closer than at the zoo. The animals will come right up to (and partially in) your car to eat. There is also an area to walk through that is as exciting for it's landscaping (windmill, fountain, old barn, and beautiful plants) as it is for the other animals there (hares, tortoises, birds, porcupines and more). Fletcher had lots to say about the behavior of the animals: "Maybe those goats are nocturnal" (when he saw some napping deer-like animals) and "The pigs can get cool and clean and fresh there" (when he saw a huge mud hole), etc.

i am totally jealous you went to the lazy 5 ranch. did you see any highland cows or emus?
Yes, they have both emus and cows (an African variety and others). You should definetly go, but wait until it's a little cooler. The animals are more active when it's not so hot. There gardens are beautiful! They have a website but it's not too great, but you can get directions (drive until you're sure you've gone too far and then you're there), rates, and hours, etc. You mentioned that you and Evelyn might go together. Nickolas would enjoy it. In addition to the animals and gardens, they have a play structure that looks like pirate ships linked by gang planks and swings. Let me know when you plan to go. Maybe we could meet you there!
