Day #5: Farm Life, Go Carts, & the Drive-In Movies

As you can see from the title, yesterday was a busy day! We went to the Tuttles's, some friends of our friends the Tuckers. (Complicated, huh?) They have a beautiful farm! I milked a goat, rode a horse for an hour, and took tons of pictures. They have a really gorgeous pool, but there wasn't enough time for me to swim in it. I rode horses instead...haha. The goats were somewhat smelly, (duh) but kind of cute in a lopsided way. After we went horseback riding on some trails. Now trails in Midland are not trails winding through tall trees and bubbling rivers; HA, it's through cacti, scrubrush, and red sand. Pretty cool, but not what comes to mind when you hear the word trail. After a hot dog lunch, we went to the go cart place. My first cart was kind of a dud. And I wasn't sure if it was me or the cart. It was the cart. My second one was supposed to be the fast one, but I kept feeling like I was going to tip over, so I went slower. But seriously, tip over? They're so low to the ground. I'm such a worrywart. We came home  and relaxed, then went out to eat at Jason's Deli. I got my usual: chicken ceasar salad & a root beer. Then off we went to the drive-in movies. I don't have any pictures of that or Jason's Deli, but I wish I had thought to grab a few pictures of the huge screen. It's 100 ft. tall! So when we got there, I was like, "How does this work? Where does the sound come from?" I've never been to a drive-in before. But you tune your radio to a certain station, ours was 95.3 fm, and that's where the sound comes from! Neat, huh? And for $6 you get 2 movies! We saw Kung Fu Panda 2, and Thor played afterwards. I really would have wanted to see it, but we didn't stay to watch it-since we were all exhausted. (We've been staying until midnight almost every night.) Anyway, here's all the pics. I was using the fancy camera again, but for some reason the quality is not good at all when they're uploaded to blogger. Ah well, have fun!


The goat, Anna...


A random picture of my feet...haha


I loved this spot! It definitely called for a personal picture. Even though I stink at posing!


Salin, Addy, Britainyah, and Anna


Girls again! 



Salin on Star


Elisha on Cimarron 


Lol! You can't see, but there is an indignant look on her face.


The bench I sat on. I can definitely see some gorgeous senior pictures happening here!


They had peacocks!


It was delicious! Ahh...


Isn't that the tallest pepper grinder you've seen? The salt grinder isn't exactly small either. And I love the Eiffel Tower olive oil holder!


Ethan and Sarah...


Kids & horses


Isn't this a great picture?  Dad's so intense! And Sarah's streaming hair is hilarious!


The stoplight... (duh)


Waiting for go carts...

Brit!





Mr. Terry and Sarah






Brit's face under the mist. Ha



I love this picture too! The objects in focus are way clearer on my computer or on the camera. Blogger somehow messes them up. :/




Somebody obviously thought something else was more interesting than their picture being taken. Hehe
