Another trip to Dillard House

The beginnings of some fall colors
What a smile!

The donkey has a nice style!

And the bull's big ol' tongue!

We love going to the Dillard House in North GA, especially during the fall. The restaurant serves a huge family style Southern meal right to your table and the view of the mountains is amazing! The kids favorite part is going out back to the little farm/zoo where you can feed the animals. They have goats, chickens, a donkey, a llama, some sheep, some rare breed cattle, and horses. This trip to see the animals was hilarious! Firstly, Dusty discovered that when you feed the Texan longhorn, he sticks his huge tongue out to get the food! The donkey preferred to open his jaws wide and askew and show all his teeth. But the young goat was the most clever. He hopped from the rock he was perched on right onto the longhorn's back and got a free ride around the pen! The cow didn't seem to mind which made me think it was a common occurrence. And then just as the big cow got close enough to the fence, the little goat jumped right out and proceeded to stuff himself with the food that was dropped just over the fence and out of all the other animal's reach. It was the cutest thing! Of course Anson and Ella loved having the little goat to chase around. It was a fun way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

That is so funny! I saw the picture with the goat on the cow's back and thought it must have just been a weird camera angle to make it look like that! Next time we're up we'll all have to go there. And you and I can go to some of the antique shops afterwards- Jared didn't seem to enjoy them as much as I did :)

What a fun resteraunt! The mountains are beautiful. I got a kick out of your lobster dinner. You are very brave to cook a lobster. Sea food just grosses me out too much :-)!
