Goat Farm!

One of the benefits of moving back to Oregon is that we are much closer to "Aunt Summer's goat farm."

This might be Søren's favorite place on earth, and today it was paradise playing with the 10 baby goats, meandering around through the orchard, and exploring up on the play ground (and enjoying the swirly tube slide 4-5 times before we discovered that Søren had snuck Andrew's, - now bent - glasses into his pants pocket).

The baby goats try to teeth and suckle on everything, but it's quite endearing. I tried to catch some pictures of some of the cuteness...but the goats were always hoping all over the place and did not care to freeze to preserve any Kodak moments.

All the same, here are some pictures from our adventure:

Søren made himself comfortable right away.




Tug of War!

Aunt Summer!

Worried papa hovers while Søren easily manages himself on the goat play structure.


This should have been video as 5 baby goats jumped up on my hubby and tried nursing on his shirt.


If you are ever in need of an adorable pet goat, for milking or not, do let me know and I can point you in a good direction =)

  2. It was a wonderful visit; I love the pictures. I can't wait until this summer when you can spend even more time w/ us. Maybe I can teach you how to milk :). Hugs to everyone.

  3. Deanna - It is a very lovely place. Unfortunately, they need all their milk for cheese-making. Those little goats make great tasting milk though. Our milk is coming from farther away, though equally beautiful country - Sequim.

    Summer - So glad you like the pictures. Those goats are so much fun. This summer will be great; no work nights! I would love to learn to milk, especially if we ever end up with a Caprino of our very own =)
