Bonnie Springs

After four years of living here, I finally made it to Bonnie Springs with the kids a few months back. We did attempt going one time before, but the town was closed when we got there. We went with the Sondrup family one afternoon kids were off of school. It's about a 45 minute drive out to Red Rock where it's located, and it made for a fun afternoon. 



We stuck around to watch the two man play, and gun fight outside. This old ghost town was fun to explore, but the plays needed a little help. The two older gentlemen acting them out were terrible. One of them was pretending to be a woman during the show with a wig and aapron. Thats how classy it was.


Here we are waiting of the awesome show. Yes, that was very sarcastic.


The best part of the day was the petting zoo. Aliza fell in love with this deer and followed her around for a very long time.


There were caged animals and animals walking around. Lots of sheep, pigs and deer to pet.


Abbie discovered these baby chicks. She was even able to hold one before their mama started to get a bit worried. We found out from one of the staff that they were born just that morning. There were even a few unhatched eggs still under their mom.


They were fascinating to watch.




Aliza wanted to get a picture next to the timber wolf because that is her school mascot. Kristi and I just joked about how Jacob and his family were all trapped behind the fence. Ha….love Twilight


If you look closely Abbie is petting a woodchuck, I think.


There was a pond there with a lot of ducks and turtles. So fun to watch the turtles swim around.


Abbie took this picture below and it turned out so great. She should be a photographer.
