Kids!
Smiles. Giggles. Noisy. Messy faces and hands, hooves, fur and wait….I need to explain. Our farm “kids” are baby goats of course! Our farm boys are just that…the little humans that run around our farm with messy faces and hands and smiles a mile wide at certain times.
We love kids…both the animal and human kind. And so, sometimes when we have new “kids” on the farm we decide to plan a visit to some of the human kids in our community. We also sometimes take one of our farm boys with us…to visit their old preschool is such a treat for them!
This time I’m taking my 1st grader, Ryder, to Glee preschool. He’s getting out of school just a little early for this much anticipated event. He’ll get to help me show off our goat kids and he’ll get to show off his own skills by reading a story to the class of human kids. The goats may stay still and quiet enough to listen for a bit too. We’ll see.
Overall, this is one of my favorite spring farm “duties” so to speak. It’s not a duty when it’s this much fun! I’ll let you know how it goes after tomorrow…
I’m anxious for you to start posting photos too! I would love to see the classroom with the kids and kids together!
Hey Bill! This is too fun, but I’m not sure how I get more people to read my blog. Any pointers?
I will start posting photos too…as soon as I get some good ones from the school! We ended up taking a one week old lamb instead. The goat kids were way too rambunctious on this 75 degree day 🙂
