Trip to the Farm

We went to Naylor Family Farm at the beginning on this month so that Natalie could meet some animals.  She thought it was hilarious!

This is a "tree house" for goats.  You crank a chain that carries food up to the fort, and the goats walk up in order to eat.  It's so funny.

It's kind of like Survivor.  The goats head-butt each other so they get the most food.  The smart goats stay at the base of the tree and get what falls through the cracks.  The cows (especially this one, who gave us some maniacal moos when we quit feeding him) also join in.

Petting the goats and the cows, which she loved.  I wasn't paying close enough attention after she petted them, and she stuck her fingers in her mouth.  Taylor wasn't thrilled with this, causing me to joke with him that Natalie may get the "goat fever" or some other serious disease.  He felt better the next morning when Natalie hadn't started mooing or bleating. :)
