Saturday morning (September 9th), we all woke (though maybe not as rested as we would have liked after the enjoyable yet busy previous evening of dad and mom's Anniversary party) and quickly got ready for the exciting events planned for the day!
The men and boys quickly ate breakfast...
... and got ready to leave to meet the rest of the men who were planning to go on our first ever Berean Family Church Men and Boys Canoe trip! Though of course I was not able to get any pictures of them canoeing, they did have some disposable cameras with them and hopefully, if all turns out well and I can persuade someone to write something, perhaps we will be able to post something soon about all that took place on this very exciting Men and Boys outing!
Mean While..... Back at Eddy Acres, after all us women folk had eaten and cleaned up, and after a quick phone call and the putting on of propper foot wear, Faith, Theresa, Grace and Christianna headed down the way to the Anderson Farm. Besides the one reason to go see their four Pigmy Goats, we also had brought along a plate full of leftover cake from the night before, and as it turned out, Carrot Cake was Mr. Andersons favorite!
Though we had only thought of staying a little while, that 'little while' turned into an hour as we watched the goats eat their breakfast and listened to Mr. Anderson tell us many different interesting, exciting and many times hilarious stories about farming and all the different animals he used to own. We also got a tour of the barn and saw and heard how he had aquired the many amazing antiques that filled almost every corner and decorated the walls!
After the barn was closed up we then headed over to his other storage barn and got a closer view at some really neat antiques he was trying to restore.
Even though our time spent there seemed to quickly come to an end, the enjoyement of it all and the friendliness of the Andersons made us all hope to soon return and search out the many more pieces of history hidden on that farm.
