A little FARM life...

Two years ago we were invited to Marta and Randy's farm to see their new baby goats.  We were so very happy to be invited back this spring to see a new generation!  Seven baby goats this year, to snuggle and watch play.

I couldn't resist a photo of Beau's "farm attire."
Richie remembered how to feed the goats from last time.
He may be now known as the "goat whisperer."
Henley was SO EXCITED to go to the farm to see baby goats.
He may have had his boots on ALL day in anticipation.
He may have told EVERYONE that he was going to see goats.
Everyone.
He LOVED them.
Macey and her mommy came along too.
Just like last time.
Hazel sure enjoyed having her pal along, me too!
Marta introduces Holden to another sweet baby.
Hazel was smitten with the baby goats.
She didn't want to leave, and may have cried a bit.
And then a bit more.
If only a baby goat would have fit in her pocket...
Oh Henley boy.
So interested in these other kinds of kids.
Thank you kind goats for being so accommodating!
The rule was, everyone must cuddle a baby.
I was happy to oblige.
Henley found a good sitting spot.
A baby walking on the bridge - also Henley's sitting spot.
So cute and agile.
We loved watching them jump and run and play together.
We even convinced Beau he must hold a baby.
Henley and Hazel enjoyed giving the momma goats some food.
They love dried peas (so did Richie)!
Henley took the feeding seriously.
Farm life in his future?
I had to get a picture of Holden out with the goats...
Just like I had to get this picture of his brother two years ago!
See a resemblance?
Kat managed to snuggle two goats at once!
Before we even reached the goats...
Henley took a tumble in the thick farm mud.
Didn't slow him down!
My baby must smell yummy to this other baby.
Oh happy boy.
Holden enjoyed sitting in grass for the first time!
He loved feeling it in his fingers.
Sooo happy spring is here, finally!
*****
Thanks Marta and Randy for sharing your babies with us.
Hope to come again!!

That brings back such sweet memories! We went to see goats as well, but we missed the great company! And of course we did not have such a handsome man on our side ... Clemens just can't compete with Beau (fashio-wise, of course!) :)

Oh, one more thing ... Had to look twice to make sure that it was Henley and not Andrin in the sweater. I am so happy to see that the sweater fits him so well. I just loved it!
