A real cowboy Christmas is one you don't want to miss when you live in the southwest part of the country. And the Rock'n R Ranch, a working fourth generation family cattle ranch, is the place to go! You will witness a western town shootout, Doctor Pessco's Wild West Elixir skit, have a cold beer in the old saloon and get a genuine cowboy dinner show including beef, beans, apple sauce, muffins and very hot "cowboy coffee" served on genuine tin plates and cups from the chuck wagon. It is about half way through the dinner show that you realize everyone serving you to this point is on stage, singing and or playing a musical instrument, and is a member of this very talented musical family who owns and operates the Rock'n R Ranch, right down to 23 year old Chelsea belting out "Rock'n Round the Christmas Tree". (She will open for Travis Tritt when he is in Phoenix in February). The talent seems absolutely endless. For 25 bucks a person you get a pretty tasty meal and nearly an hour and 1/2 dinner show. What a blast! Heidi's folks (Jack & Vivian) really hit a home run on this one and it is good clean family entertainment. Sometimes it is good to just let your hair down and try something new. Our Rock'n R Ranch experience is a Christmas occasion we will not soon forget!
By the way, you will notice that we have winter jackets on. This is because it was cold outside...Yes, I said it was cold in Arizona. I have found that when the sun goes down in the desert, it gets very cold, very quick...so it was about 38 degrees by the time the show started. But before you laugh at me too much (for all my friends back in Michigan) the daytime highs here are running in the 60's and sunny. I have yet to have to shovel any sunshine here!
