Reed Ranch- Cute & Tasty

The other day we went to the state park which has a really nice playground. Woody went with us and he had a blast. It was one of our first warm sunny days. The girls had Woody all over the play equipment. They had him jumping over and going under balance beams. Up and Down the stairs. He even chased them while they were trying to swing. The girls tried to get him to go down one of the slides with him but he wouldn't do it. He did try going up but that didn't go too well. Everyone was having a great time.

We added to our animal count. Currently it is

5 Turkeys
2 Kittens
3 Cats (2 Barn - Sparkles has been demoted from indoor cat to outside barn cat)
6 Goat kids
19 Doe Goats
5 Buck Goats
1 Pig

Our two Kittens are very tiny and cute. One is a tabby with 6 toes, his name is Jinx. The other kitten is black with a little bit of white on it's belly. His name is Salem. Today I looked outside and I thought Jinx was dead. I saw Woody in the yard laying down throwing the kitten in the air. It looked like a limp noodle. Once I shouted at him he dropped the kitten and walked away and the kitten quickly followed behind him. I was surprised it wasn't dead.

Later that morning while we were feed the animals the kittens followed the girls to feed the pig then into the milk barn to feed the baby goats and then they ran behind the girls all the way back to the porch of the house. It was so cute seeing these tiny kittens running behind the girls. At one point Addisson looked back to see where they were and wasn't looking where she was going and tripped over a mound of hay. She took a pretty good digger, but she got up and kept running.

Friday we had the baby goats out to play. They follow you everywhere. If one gets left behind it blaaas like crazy. They also walk between your legs while you are trying to walk and they trip you or make you kick them. It is annoying. They also try to eat your pants/shorts and lick your legs. Their tongues are like sand paper. The goats were trying to help Grandpap fix the tailgate of the truck. We had a salesman come to the house and the baby goats tried to get into his car. For those of you who remember Happy Birthday who was on the porch for a long time. Well Grandma had flashbacks when she looked out and saw 5 baby goats on the porch and two of them were standing on a plastic tub looking into the window crying. They also run into the house very quickly when ever you aren't paying attention. Asa came into the house and 3 of them ran in behind him. Then he had trouble getting them out. He would throw one out and another would come in. The girls thought it was hilarious.
