Jonathan's looooooooooooooong TDY is finally over and, after 4 months, he is back home with us in Las Vegas. He's taking a long weekend, and we decided to get out of the city today and head out to Red Rock Canyon. Just on the outskirts of Red Rock Conservation Area is Bonnie Springs Ranch, an old 'Wild West' type park with museums and a zoo. For my Tucson friends, think "Old Tucson" only "Old Nevada."

Okay, I'm not going to lie: we heard about this place on an episode of 'Ghost Adventures' we watched last night. This is the one building where they actually caught some paranormal activity, and it was blocked off from visitors. Oh, darn. ;) But, it didn't stop Jonathan from snapping pictures in OTHER buildings, trying to catch orbs and apparitions. Yep, he's a dork.
This was the other building they investigated on the show. It WAS open to the public, but we didn't go in. I'm a big baby.

We took MJ to the zoo, and there was a petting area. What kind of parents take their kid to a petting zoo and don't let him touch the animals? These kind of parents right here. This is as close as he was allowed to get to the deer. . .
. . . and the donkey. . .
. . . and the ducks and turtles. But he DID enjoy looking at all of the animals at least. :)
He was allowed to pet his stuffed Oskar dog when he was back in the car, though. And that was alright with him. :)
