[Cowboy Chris] One, two, three.
[Cowboy Chris] Throw! Up high!
This is our six part series of Phoenix with Kids.
Day number three.
We're making our way to Black Canyon City.
We are at Canyon Creek Ranch and today we're going on a cowboy adventure.
This place lets you experience the thrill of nature and the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Southwest,
the same way the original cowboys did.
Today I'm going to ride Champ the horse.
Cowboy Chris is our tour guide today, and he's going to lead my horse until I'm ready to drive by myself.
And after seven minutes, I'm ready to take on the challenge.
We saw many different types of cacti on this trail.
And this cactus has another one growing on it, called the top hat.
And this is what a dead cactus looks like.
We're speeding along.
My horse is going poopy.
Why don't horses use toilets?
Cowboy Chris is pointing out some drawings on the rocks made by Natives.
Now we're going down a steep slope.
[Cowboy Chris] Got a step coming up.
[Cowboy Chris] Let's see the form. We're leaning back, we're leaning back.
[Cowboy Chris] And Champ enters the hill.
[Cowboy Chris] And we have a big rock coming.
[Cowboy Chris] Ohh! Big step. Big step. Can he make it?
And he did.
We are approaching the Old West Town of Coldwater.
This is the Rusty Nail Saloon.
This is an authentic looking Western bar.
Watch out for the rattlesnake!
Now Cowboy Chris is going to show me how to throw a tomahawk.
So close!
Time to learn how to lasso.
We're at the shooting range.
[Cowboy Chris] Squeeze it!
Ohh, just missed it.
And it's my dad's turn.
[Cowboy Chris] Nice shot! Look at him go!
Lastly, I'm learning how to shoot with a bow and arrow.
[Cowboy Chris] Awesome!
Now we're going to have lunch at the Wild West Cookout.
Thank you Cowboy Chris for a fun time at Canyon Creek Ranch.

We're driving to Scottsdale.
We're at Scottsdale's Museum of the West.
This museum celebrates the art, history, culture and unique stories of the 19 states comprising the American West.
There are many interactive displays here.
I'm looking at some beautiful paintings.
This is the Western art section.
This looks like I'm standing next to a horse,
but it's really a drawing on the ground.
Now we're looking at some Western gears and artifacts.
Baby and I are playing with magnets.
Is that a real buffalo?
We are taking the elevator to the second level.
This is the Confluence of Cultures in the American West exhibit.
This section showcases the stories of friendship, tension, and conflict
that arose during cultural contact in the American west.
We had so much fun at Scottsdale's Museum of the West.
We're at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
This is Arizona's only permanent museum dedicated solely to modern works of art, design and architecture.
This is Ferryman's Crossing by Bruce Munro.
Look at all the shiny CD's.
I wonder what's in this room.
The colors make the room glow.
We're going to see Tales of Horizon by Kelly Richardson.
I'm going to ride in one of these rocket ships.
And I have reached the planet Mars.
I had so much fun at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
We are at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.
This site features a 15 inch gauge, ridable miniature railway.
All aboard!
This route has 3,800 feet of track.
Baby, don't fall off the train!
We're passing by a really big Christmas tree.
And then we saw some snow.
Baby spotted Big Bird.
Wheeeee!!
Now we're going to look at some model trains.
This is a busy city.
Look, there's a person with a sombrero.
We had so much fun at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.
