Doing Local Touristy Stuff

We drove up the road just a little bit to the local Mayfield Dairy bottling facility, where they bottle milk of all sorts. It was a fun short little adventure, and not something any of us had seen before. First of all, we had to wear HAIRNETS!

But we did get to pretend to milk a cow, so that made it all worth it.

All in all I think they did a pretty good job of convincing us that we need to be drinking Mayfield milk, so well done. And for the price of admission, we got free ice cream when it was over!

We weren't sure how the twins would take to the hairnets, but they saw everyone else doing it, and despite a minor amount of protest, got on board that this was what we were going to do. And the ice cream at the end probably made it all worth while.

Local Tourist:Dauset Trails

One of our favorite places since we've moved here is Dauset Trails which is a sanctuary for injured and/or bad tempered animals. We learned about it during a festival we attended right after we moved. They had a little booth and were really the only point of interest AT the festival - so we drove down to check the place out. We've been back several times now.

This time our friend Emma came along with her new boyfriend. What was good because he probably needed inspection. (kidding we really liked him).

As you can see here, we put him to work. Poor guy.


As always there were new animals, including a coyote that looked as though he wanted to eat mah babehs. He was truly fired up. It was nuts. He needed a lady friend or something to relax I swear. No WONDER that one was there.

There are lots of spots to stop and feed the animals, toss feed of various sorts into the water or into their cages. The kids loved that part. Ok we kind of loved it too. Why is it so much fun to feed animals? Some native urge to be a farmer?

It's about an hour and a half from where we live, ish - depending on traffic in the ATL which is suck-ass on a good day. It was an awesome day in the sun with mother nature and some of her creatures.
Even the coyote who wanted to eat mah babehs.

Now, I've had my fill of nature for 09. Bring me indoor events I say! It's HOT HERE!
