feeding the goats

I put the boys down early for their naps with some easy going church music and I must say I'm about to fall asleep with them. I guess it's true that music relaxes. Yesterday we had lunch with at my grandmother's house with a few friends from church and had a great time. Did I ever mention that my grandmother is a great cook? :) After lunch, Spencer and Andrew started getting a little restless and my grandmother mentioned to them that they could ride the golf cart. Well that got their interest peaked and off they go through the house searching for the golf cart keys ... ending in success. So here comes Spencer like a proud turkey with the keys in his hand ready to head outside. The past couple of weeks when we have gone for golf cart rides, we have gone across the road where there is a field with goats in it. We usually take them some corn to eat or there were some tree branches with leaves on it the past few times we've gone. The leaves have turned brown though and I'm not quite sure why the goats won't eat them. I thought goats eat just about anything...I know the grass is so low where they are you can barely tell there used to be grass there :) Well this time, grandmother had some old bread that was going to be thrown away so we took that down to the field. The boys loved carrying their own bag of bread...as you can tell from the pictures. So that was their highlight of the day...feeding the goats. They love being outside and definitely love animals. Spencer only likes the "baby" goats though and makes sure you know ... "I don't like that big one". The "big" one always uses its horns to buck the other ones out of the way to get to the food. Needless to say, it just seems like a really mean and selfish goat. The first time we went to feed the goats, the "big" one just about ate Spencer's hand off so it scared him a little bit. I think I would be scared too :)





I just want to thank my Mom for keeping the boys for me on Tuesday. I had a couple of things that I really wanted to do that I knew would take just about the whole day, and wasn't quite sure how I could go to both of them without getting someone to keep them all day, so she took off work and helped me out. I am really blessed to be able to have a Mom who sacrificed her time so I could have some time of my own. Thanks Mom!!
