Last Saturday we trekked down to Santa Clarita for the annual Cowboy Festival at Melody Ranch. The ranch is actually a working movie set so there were all kinds of cool period looking buildings and people wandering around in western dress. Not to mention tons of great music, dancers and variety shows. Benji is right now totally enamored of horses ('Neigh') and every time we saw one practically went crazy until he got to go pet it.
Look! Pete got to ride one!
The boys were thrilled.
They especially liked watching this Indian Dancer who did a Prairie Chicken dance.
See their faces? Rapt attention I tell ya.
There was also a small movie memorabilia museum from films that had been shot at the ranch including an actual General Lee. When he saw this car, Benji immediately ducked under the rope and tried to open the door to climb right in. We tried to explain that on this car it's better to use the windows -- but, hey, the kids got good taste.
Benji doing some sort of flying machine pose here. Crazy kid.
Peter panning for gold in the kid section.
And the boys showing off their 'cowboy walks' which mostly made them look like they needed hip replacements. All in all, a very fun (if not hot) day.
Which has led to a lot of this the past few days: boys running around with guns and cowboy hats yelling 'Pow! Pow!'
