The goat says... NO?

One day after I picked the kids up from daycare I got a wild hair (figure of speak, I know I literally have wild hair) and decided to run out to Lone Pine Farm and let the kids see the goats.  They were both in heaven, its such a fun stop for kids of all ages (I got a kick out of feeding those little stinkers too). 

Miles was thrilled, until one of the goats chomped his poor fingers. He cryed for a minute and once he was calm I had to run and grab Mason off the tractor he was determined to kill himself on. After I grabbed Mase, I quickly turned around to this aweful baa-squeal coming from the cage I parked Miles by. When I got close I could see Miles had gotten his revenge... he was biting down on one of the goat's ears for all his worth. It was a proud Mother moment, right up there with finding Mase standing in is window seal earlier this week banging on the window and yellowing for all his worth. Did I mention it was 930 at night, he was naked with his boy junk smashed against the window,the lights were of course on and his window faces the parking lot... I didn't?  Well I am sure you can picture it! Such heart warming moments bring a tear to my eye, I just know my Mother of the year award is in the mail!




Miles was thrilled everytime there little heads would pop through the wire, he thought it was a game!

 
The Tractor of Death

Miles has the poor thing by the nose... I didn't realize until I was looking through the pics.  (please don't call PETA)

Mase had to feed them on pellet at a time... it took forever!

I won't attempt this again alone, I had to carry Mason out over my shoulder while I pushed Miles with my ribcage... they cried and tantrumed halfway home.  This is as close to pets or a farm as they will ever get!!

That looks like they had a ball! Don't you wonder why we put ourselves through stuff like that?? It's all for the memories! I'm sure they appreciated it!

That looks like so much fun. I loved my goat when I was little and I think it's great that kids can actually see animals other than cats and dogs! Hooray for petting zoos. (and awesome moms!)
