The Oil Ranch

In November the girls and I went to the Oil Ranch in Hockley Texas with our playgroup. We had a blast and I can not wait to go back next year!

In the past we have gone to Dewberry Farm. The first year we went it was just me and Maddie (Mackenzie was not in the picture yet) and we had lots of  fun! The second year we went Mackenzie was only 3 months old and it was a blast. This year we went and while we did have fun I would probably not go back. It was WAY overcrowded everywhere. I felt like it was much more commercialized and the idea was to get as many people in and out as possible to make the most money. I was very disappointed with Dewberry this year.

We decided to go to the Oil Ranch this year with our playgroup. It was awesome! First off there were not many people there at all. There were so many activities for the kids to do that we could have spent a whole weekend there! They had a playground that the kids played on. A splash pad type thing (of course it was too cold in November) and they had a real cow that they let the kids milk (Maddie went up and touched the cow and was done... Milking the cow freaked her out... Lol). They had pony rides and the kids got to have like 3 pony rides each because no one was there! They had all different kinds of animals. They had an awesome wagon ride where you could go feed the cows and they ate right out of your hand sticking their heads in the wagon! They also got to go on a train ride around the ranch and through a tunnel. They had a petting zoo and inflatable moonwalks. They had come pumpkins left over from the pumpkin patch. Overall it was a GREAT experience and we will definitely be going back! Enjoy some pics from the day!
