We went with our playgroup to the
Yellow River Game Ranch this week. It was so cool. There is a path winding through a wooded area that is full of deer, rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese. They walk right up to you and you can feed them carrots and crackers. More animals are in cages or behind fences: a black bear, donkeys, ponys, turkeys, peacocks, even buffalo. We saw and fed all kinds of animals. Lily fed (and teased, I might add) carrots to some deer and rabbits. Sam fed all the animals but was mostly excited about chasing squirrels, of course. We will definitely go back. It was really fun.
I almost forgot to mention that the Yellow River Game Ranch is the home of Georgia's own weather predicting groundhog, General Beauregard Lee. Beau passes his time in a white-columned Southern mansion called Weathering Heights Plantation. He owns an architectural water fountain; a postal box; a granite monument; a monogrammed lawn marker, sundial, doormat and a satellite dish that allows him to watch PBS nature specials. He has further enjoyed a broad jump and high diving board which readied him for The Olympics. It is alleged that Beau’s Official Mansion also includes a laptop computer for his prodigious correspondence and a Wine Cellar to recover from the labors of His National Holiday. (I got all this info from their website and I can tell you it is all true!)
