Animal Farm Animal Home

We had the best day with my family on their Easter visit this year. We got to visit Tanglewood Farm! It is a farm that you can visit that has miniature animals! MINIATURE ANIMALS! Can you imagine! As you can tell, I took lots of pictures on this day. I just love animals! We were greeted by this Howdy sign...


And then we made our way in.


Right away we were greeted by the adorable animals. I gave almost every animal there a hug, or at least the ones that would let me.




Love this little guy in a sweater!!!






My mom gave the lambs a hug, too! We really enjoyed these little guys. So soft and cute.






Can you feel the love???




The mini alpacas looked like they were smiling.








This baby was hiding behind the mom and would hum each time I came around to give it a hug.










And here is a baby miniature Shetland pony!






Yay! What a great day at Tanglewood!

Spring is Here

My parents were in town recently, and we had so much fun together. Here are some pics from their time here, and it is really starting to get nice outside, so it really feels like spring is here!


One of my all-time favorite foods is waffles! We had waffles at a little cafe called Sabine's. It is a small, quaint cafe just outside of Athens. My waffle had fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. It was great, and my dad had a German hot dog that he really liked!




This crochet cafe and cookies are really cute!
