This year for Thanksgiving, we did something we have never done before at the holidays. We stayed at home. We didn't travel anywhere, and no one traveled to see us. Just our party of six in our new town for Thanksgiving! Overall, it was just great! We went to the gym, watched lots of college football (Go Dawgs!), and just enjoyed being together.
We took a family field trip on Wednesday to Ard's Dairy in Ruth, Mississippi. It is owned by the parents of a young lady we met recently. The name tells all. It is a dairy farm with real, live milking cows and even some baby calves.
Before we left for our field trip, we made a yummy snack.
Homemade trail mix! It was a big hit!
Here we are at the farm playing on the slides.
The children had so much fun. Story wasn't sure about the big slide at first, so I took her down with me, and before we knew it, she was riding the slides like a pro.

How perfect! Four pictures for our four littles! We had a hard time getting everyone to look at the camera at the same time. Imagine that.
Then, by far our favorite part of the day. The Moo Choo Train!
I think the Pink Pig has been replaced this year! The children loved the Moo Choo Train. They got to take turns being the conductor.
We drove all over the farm checking out all the animals. They had lots of cows for milking, a goat, and some calves that were just precious. As you can see from the dirt on our bottoms, we played hard and had a great day!
On the way back home, we were famished. There is not a lot between Hattiesburg and Ruth, but we found this cute little restaurant, and their fried chicken would put Popeyes out of business! It was so good! We even met a cute waitress inside who spent several years in Athens, Georgia, and is an avid dawg fan. I knew there was a reason we were drawn to the place! Thank you, David, for planning a super fun day for our family!
