Are We There Yet?

So we were off! We were making pretty good time, but Matt had some fun ideas to keep us from going nuts. I don't know how many of you have had the "privilege" of driving though Kansas, but about half way through you start seeing signs for: "Come see the 6-legged cow", and "8,000 pound prairie dog." So you gotta stop right?!?! Who doesn't want to see that? Well, we did and boy did we have a little red-neck fun at "Prairie Dog Town!" See for yourself...

The first thing you see when you walk in is this enormous rattlesnake hanging on the wall. Some guy found it in Mexico. It lived for awhile in the rattlesnake pit below it (that cage Emma is looking in is FULL of rattlesnakes... don't even go there) but he got to big so they stuffed him. What a nice keep sake, right! 

Then you head outside where the "animals" are. There are prairie dogs EVERYWHERE.

What prairie dog, mom?

So this was normal... just feeding the goats!

K- so now what we came for right... the 6-legged cow!!! No kidding here he his. (the extra two legs are growing out just under his tail... that took some explaining!!)

And not only was there a 6-legged cow, but a 5-legged one too. (his extra leg is growing out of his shoulder... again a little explaining was needed for Emma)!

Now for the 8,000 pound prairie dog...

Ha, ha very funny!!

Then back inside for some more freakiness:

A 2-headed calf... a 2-headed Coleman!!

Matt always knew there were "jackalopes"... Now he has proof!

Know seriously, don't laugh to hard at us... you know you'd stop too. And to be honest we'll probably stop again!!

After our little "side-show" stop, we were off through Colorado where we had another delay:

I knew we were making pretty good time... I just realize how good until an observant highway patrolman told us!! Way to go, dear!!! (Hey there's Tal :)...)
