We had the opportunity to take Elizabeth along.  I though it would be great fun.  We ended up at Los Rios Ranchos for lunch, apple cider and a little bluegrass music.  Lunch was good.  Elizabeth especially liked grandma&#8217;s apple cider over the water that I gave her.  Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch we listened to music and wandered around the store.  After we purchased some apples, some old fashioned candy and of course a couple gallons of apple cider, we turned to the outdoors for some adventure.  Just out the front doors were a couple of large horses that Elizabeth got excited about.  She pointed and said, &#8220;wow wow,&#8221; her regular phrase for dog.  Then again, wow wow may be big furry animal on four legs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/20131123_122925e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/20131123_122925e-430x262.jpg\" alt=\"20131123_122925e\" width=\"430\" height=\"262\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/20131123_122925e-430x262.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/20131123_122925e-1024x624.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/20131123_122925e-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/20131123_122925e-400x243.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Form their we went to the petting zoo, which was closed.

I wounder what she will do when she sees a chicken or turkey? <\/p>\n<p>We then wandered out to the Oak Knoll Park.  Elizabeth stood still for a picture.  I should say, kind of stood still.
