Ice Cream Lunch

Sissy & I headed out today to go peach picking with the girls.

Unfortunately the farm wasn't open for picking today.

See, they periodically close for ripening.

Today was one of those days.  Tomorrow too.

We were told that they should be open by the middle-end of the week for picking.

That didn't help us today.

We wanted peaches.

Luckily, the peach picking entrance is right by the farm stand.

So we bought our peaches instead of picking them today.

And we bought corn for dinner.  Yum.

Then it was lunch time.

What are 4 girls to do?

We decided that we should have ice cream for lunch.

Off we headed to a local ice cream stand.

Where there just happened to be a petting zoo as well.

We ate our ice cream and then decided to check out the animals.

This donkey was cute.  And perhaps a little heavy.  Me thinks he gets fed a lot.

These 2 goats were so cute.  They definitely knew that when people come to the fence, that means they get a little something to eat.

The girl stuck her head through the fence at one point and tried to get Es' flip flop.

She got a pretty good grip with her mouth.  Good thing E was stronger, or else she would have been going home with one less flip flop than she came with to the ice cream stand.

This was about the time I told the girls the story of the goat that Hubbys' mom had when Hubby was a kid.

That goat liked to eat the shingles off of the house.

Apparently goats have tough stomachs.

Even D didn't leave untouched.

One of the goats(can't remember if it was the boy or girl) tried to bite onto her shorts. And this was after she had already fed the goats.  Apparently he/she didn't think D had given him/her enough food.

We had a wonderful time.

And the ice cream was scrumptious.

We will definitely have to go back soon.

potd #231.  Well, hello there.  Boy, this guy is cute.
