It was an absolutely perfect Saturday in October and Jason and I took the girls up to Ellijay to visit some family friends on their farm. Mr. and Mrs. Donath had given us an open invitation to come and visit and we were happy to finally take them up on their offer! We had a great time feeding and petting all the animals, taking a walk around their land to take in all the gorgeous scenery and rocking on the front porch and enjoying the breeze. We finished off our visit with a wonderful meal.
To the Donaths~ thank you for being so hospitable and opening up your home and farm to us! We hope that it won't be another 2 years before we come see you again!
Caitlin has just recently learned most of the farm animals and the noises they make. "E-I-E-I-O" gets sung a lot around our house. Caitlin was a little nervous around the animals at first, but once she warmed up, she was so excited! It was truly a great moment watching Caitlin realize these animals were real and she could actually touch them!
Dolly the goat wanted to get some crackers too!
Ava thought that it was so cool to touch a "real" egg straight from the chickens' pen! She held onto that egg for most of the day and then even took it to school for show and tell on Monday.
The Donaths sent us home with a dozen fresh eggs- they were delicious!!
Stopping for a picture with Daddy...
... and then they are off again! Notice Ava is still holding on to that egg!
Ava loved feeding crackers to the momma goats-
this momma goat got her horns stuck in the wire fence!
Onto feeding Gilbert the donkey!
He loves Krispy Kreme doughnuts, too :)

Peaches was Ava's favorite cow... she was so pretty!
Caitlin was enamored by the cows... we stood by this fence for quite a while!
There is nothing like enjoying the fresh air and the sunshine!
Such a big girl in the rocking chair all by herself!
I love this one!
Stopping to smell the roses... or geraniums!
Finally, the ducks!
Love this sweet smile
Picking what looks like the very last batch of apples from the tree
What an amazing day! We can't wait to go back!
