The other day I as with Jenny and her kids and she had a lot of errands to run. In between those errands we had a little down time before we needed to get Wade to speech. We were close to the OC fair grounds and re-counting the sad fact that we had missed it again this year, we were all just too busy. They have a little farm there that is open to the public for free. So we decided to go and see if it was open. It was and we went in. There were lambs, chickens, rabbits, brand new baby calves and cows and goats and mama and baby pigs. When we were by the goat pens Payton and Wade wanted to touch the noses that the goats were poking out through the spaces in the fence, probably only 4 or 5 inch spaces. If the goat tried to get his head through the space straight on it would be impossible but one wise goat with horns twisted his head to the side and maneuvered his head horns and all, through the space. Then he proceeded to stretch his neck out and sniff the little ones. Kylie freaked out, but Payton and Wade petted him a little. We were worried that the goat would be stuck now, but no, he just twisted his head again and got back into the pen the way he was supposed to be. We got a real kick out of that smart goat.Now here's the funny part. At least 30 minutes later I heard Payton kinda talking to her self and saying, "If that goat was a real boy, I would marry him!" I said, "Payton, why would you marry him?" She said, "because he is so smart!"
Smart is a very important quality for a prospective husband!!!
My little girl is a smartie herself! Love her! Thanks for capturing the memory for me Mom! Love you.
