Today was the first Saturday that I can remember that we had nothing to do...no tennis matches, no errands to run, nowhere to be...so we decided to do something fun. Nate put on his overalls and we drove to the Yellow River Game Ranch. Our expectations were low, and when we saw the entry sign they got even lower - we were expecting to see a few deer and a few cages of chickens and goats. But we were pleasantly surprised! There were animals just walking around freely - the deer just walked up and ate peanuts and carrots out of your hands - and there were pretty cool animals in fenced in areas but you could still get pretty close. Here is a sampling of what we saw:
These two deer greeted us as soon as we walked out of the door...Nate loved feeding them peanuts.
There was a great variety of animals (more pics in the 12 Month Album)...oh, and they also have the "official" Groundhog for the state of GA - General Beauregard Lee. It was a great day. The Atlanta Zoo is fantastic but this Ranch lets you get so close to all of these animals and interact with them so it is just a different experience. We will definitely be going back once Nate can walk!

We used to go there on field trips. It is actually a great place to take kids, although the sign is a bit sketchy. I LOVE the hair cut and it sounds like it wont be long before you have a walker!
