Goats!

Last week we got to enjoy the sunshine at the farm and visit the new baby goats! My grandfather has a Polo Farm north of Atlanta and there's always something fun to do up there. My Aunt and Mom {Mia as the kids call her} just got two miniature goats. They are already jumping and climbing even though they are only about 2 weeks old. The boys {and I} loved them!

Fielding loved the goats but was not happy when we brought out the bottles to feed them. He thought the bottles were for him! He was so frustrated that I had to nurse him right then and there.

{Wells did a good job.}

Both of the boys got to ride too! It was Wellington's second lesson and Fielding's first! They are naturals.

After lunch, riding, playing with and feeding the goats, we walked down to the river pasture and played in the creek {threw sticks in}. Our trip to the farm reminded me of my childhood. I spent hours and hours at the barn playing, working, and walking around the farm. I love being outdoors and hope I can be diligent to instill a love of nature into my boys.
