12/6/25

 Sarah and I woke up super early due to our early bedtime. Ha! 

The hotel provided breakfast. It was actually pretty yummy!

We decided to go to the mall. I have not been to a mall is years. This mall is the fancy mall in Rochester.

It wasn’t too crowded which was nice. Everything was decorated and cheerful. One may use the word Merry!

We stopped at a few shops, browsed and even found some good deals to take advantage of. 

We made our way down to the exciting world of goat snuggling. They can have all my money. It was worth every penny. You walk up to the goat and scoop it up. I rotated goats and snuggled them to sleep. More importantly, we didn’t stop smiling the entire time.

We helped the small children by placing goats on their laps. We were feeding them. There were a couple naughty goats that were chewing on Sarah’s hair. A couple tried nibbling on my purse. There was one lady goat the was a bully. She was head butting me in my back with its small nubbin horns.

It was very clean. The workers were on top of any goat eliminations. 

After the mall we went out to eat….where they had MERRY MARGARITA! Yes please! 

It was a blackberry, strawberry blend with spiced sugar on the rim! Do you know what makes a merry margarita even better? A silly straw. I kept the straw to use throughout the holiday season.

Baby goats are so cute. 🥰 

This is a genius idea! Why aren’t there more mall’s offering baby farm animal petting areas? This would be the sole reason I go back to the mall. Any baby farm animal, I’m in!

In one of the photos Sarah looked like she was having a stroke. I didn’t tell her about it. I did what any friend would do. I sent it to the picture frame in her livingroom. I have her code so I can share pictures with her. It is so fun because we sent pictures for one another to discover just randomly. This one will be a real treat. She is going to LOVE it. I only wish I could see her reaction.

Let’s be clear that she is not an innocent victim in the game. She has sent some real doozies my way. But it kept cracking me up how pissed she is going to be.
