Oatman and the Donkeys

One of the places to visit around here is a town called Oatman. It used to be a mining town. They have donkeys that roam through the town and you can feed them carrots. When we got there we put Ian in the stroller to walk around and immediately one of the donkeys came up to us headed straight for Ian. I think his little fingers and toes looked like a treat cuz everywhere we walked I had to make sure and steer clear of the donkeys with him.

You had to watch your back around them. My mom was standing outside one of the shops and a donkey snuck up behind her and tried to steal her bag of carrots out of her hand. It scared her because she wasn't expecting it. It was pretty funny. They would even try to follow you into the stores if they saw a bag of carrots.....greedy little suckers.

I thought Brenna would think it would be so cool to be able to feed the donkeys but alas...my little scaredy-cat daughter wouldn't go near them, yet she loved petting a giant snake last month. She said she just wanted to watch them.

She did pet one of the baby donkeys...they were cute...as much as a donkey can be cute.

It was fun walking around the little town. All of the buildings were the old type you see in movies and whatnot. A lot of the names of the stores did a play on things with donkeys....this was my favorite.
