Mini Vacation

As we've slightly changed directions with our little farm, we took a mini vacation to go pick up our new goat.  When the goat we picked out was a little over 4 hours away, we decided to go on a little adventure together.  It was so fun!  I love to see new places.  And I really love time spent with my precious family!

We stayed in Albany, Georgia.  We took the kids to the Flint River Aquarium.  That was so fun!!

I think we were just about the only ones there!  We loved looking at all the fish and turtles and alligators.

Then, we visited the Visitors Center.  The kids were excited to see posters from some of their favorite movies:  Fireproof, Facing the Giants, Flywheel and Courageous.

When we got back in the car Patrick had a surprise for us.  He took us to the spot where some of the filming was done for Sherwood Pictures.  And sure enough, we stopped at Jay Austin Motors!! Although technically it's not called that in real life.  We were so excited to stop by!

Then we drove by Sherwood Baptist Church, too.  It was a neat little tour of the town.

Then, we checked into our hotel and had the pool to ourselves too!  

Micah was excited to use his new snorkel and mask that AJ and Brenna had gotten for him for his birthday.  Although he said it's pretty gross to use in a pool because you realize how dirty it is.  Eww.

We ended the night by taking the kids to Golden Corral.  They had never been there before!  We've sort of taken for granted all the things we experienced on deputation with our older 3.  Sometimes we forget that our younger 3 weren't born yet and didn't see all they did.  They were amazed at the buffet and ate plenty!!

 We ended the trip by picking up Crusoe.  It was so much fun to spend time together.  I love my family!!
