EYE-C: Tanglewood Farm, Pt.2

More photos from TANGLEWOOD FARM! We liked the "Old West Boom Town/Ghost Town" theme they had going throughout the farm...











Sometimes, I like to ask Missy if she would still love me if I had GOAT EYES:



We found a little baby BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP and of course, Missy and her mom could not help but pick up it up and hug the hoohah out of it...















Missy spotted another BABY LAMB and again could not contain her excitement. As she gently petted the sleepy lamb, it wagged it's little curly tail like a dog...









We learned the origin of the word JACKASS:







There was a BOBTAIL MANX wandering around the farm...unlike the baby lambs, it DID NOT like being held. As soon as Missy set it back down, it bolted and then jumped up through a HOLE IN A DOOR in order to escape. I was able to quickly capture the moment while the cat still had his butt hanging out of the hole...









A miniature horse and an even more miniature BABY MINIATURE HORSE:



On our way out to see BUFFY, the MINIATURE BUFFALO, we stopped in at the TRADING POST to see what was in it. We were told by one of the farmhands that if we called out her name, she would come to the fence and let you pet her for a little bit. They were right! We called and she came to us. Even though she was "miniature", she was still quite large, which really made you think how big normal-sized buffalo were. Getting to pet Buffy was the perfect way to end a perfect day at Tanglewood Farm...

EYE-C: Tanglewood Farm, Pt.1

Missy's parents came down for Easter weekend last month and we decided to take the EXPLORE YOUR ENVIRONMENT CLUB out to Canton, Georgia, to check out TANGLEWOOD FARM - the self-proclaimed "TOWN OF MINIATURE FARM ANIMALS". It's basically a large PETTING ZOO...with MINIATURE ANIMALS...A.K.A. "a dream come true" as far as Missy was concerned. Tanglewood was only an hour-and-a-half drive from Athens. The weather was as perfect as it could get, and we ended up having a wonderful time exploring...needless to say, we took A LOT of photos...so many that this post will have to be broken up into several parts...



After purchasing tickets, we had to sign hold-harmless forms, releasing Tanglewood from any liability should any of our personal property get lost, stolen, damaged...or eaten. It also released Tanglewood from any liability should we get bitten, trampled, or killed by any of their miniature animals...Once we were signed in, we were free to roam from pen to pen to visit the lil' critters...

















Missy had a goal to hug almost EVERY ANIMAL she encountered at the farm. The first victim was this little goat...











One of the highlights of the day were these LITTLE BABY LAMBS that Missy and her Mom got to pick up and cradle for a little while. Missy said that the lamb felt lighter than our cat, Nilla...































We came across real life MY LITTLE PONIES hanging out in this SCHOOL HOUSE...
