Well, we THOUGHT it wasn't very far. But it took us an HOUR to get there. That was a little further than I had hoped. Especially because I planned to buy some pygmy goats there, and allow my 4 kids to HOLD them on the way home... In my SUV.
But, on the trip, we decided to enjoy the scenery! Old town Marietta is quaint and beautiful!!!
OK... this falls under the neither quaint not beautiful category... but more the "disturbing" category. I can't decide if the motorcycle is really teeny, or if the guy is more... er... "biggie sized." Possibly a combination of both?
*shivers*
Anyway... FINALLY, we arrived at the goat seller's house! His house was BEAUTIFUL! It made me think of Tara in Gone With the Wind. This picture really doesn't do it justice. It had a wing on either side of it, a garage in the back, and a pool in the front. The 4 columns were HUGE and had amazing detail! By the front door was a plaque that read, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." I LOVED THESE PEOPLE!!
Well, we picked out 4 goats (2 are pregnant, and 2 are babies!), and we laughed the entire way home! They were bleating constantly, and we had the windows cracked! You should have seen the looks we got at stop signs!! It was definitely the most memorable car trip my kids and I have ever taken! It was too bad Dan couldn't come along, but he was at home getting quotes on some bush hogging work.
Here are some pictures of the kids holding the goats on the car ride home!
Avery was holding one of the babies.
Alex is cracking up here, because this pregnant female was trying to head butt him.
We love our new goats! The large pregnant one's name was already Lucy, so we rolled with it, and named the rest of the goats based on other characters from The Chronicals of Narnia. So now we have Lucy, Narnia, Aslan, and Ms. Macready. If one of the pregnant females has a boy, he will be Tumnus.
