Max, Charlotte & Penny & the Girls

This morning

one of our favorite couples from our church

called to see if we would like to come out and

 feed their baby goats.

They have triplets...

Max, Charlotte and Penny...

and their poor mama died

just last night.

Since we've never bottle fed a goat before,

 we were

quick

to say yes!

 

Addie Grace is not an animal lover.

She begs for a dog,

almost daily,

but is so insanely scared of them.

She can't understand why we keep saying no to her :-)

Once we arrived at the farm

Addie sought the highest place she could find

so the goats wouldn't "get her".

 

 

Crista,

 on the other hand,

is an animal lover.

She was a little hesitant at first,

since she's never been around a goat before.

But once she realized just how docile and sweet they were

she jumped right in and started feeding them.

 

 

 

Addie Grace did,

finally,

warm up to the baby goats.

She even fed them too...

as long as they were held tight.

 

 

 

 

 After they all had their bellies filled,

they wanted to cuddle.

Crista scooped Charlotte up on her lap

and she just loved on that baby goat.

 

 It didn't take long before

Crista put that sweet Charlotte right to sleep!

 

This was the closest Addie Grace

came to holding any of the goats.

Its progress!

Although she did say,

rather emphatically,

that she would

"definitely sleep with a goat every night

in her bed"

if that was HER goat.
{she's a big talker!}

 

We had a wonderful experience feeding the babies

and Crista offered to goat-sit if they ever

needed someone.

We'll definitely go back and help out again!
