After a short walk, we came upon a baby goat (maybe a day or two old). His mom was off eating (not that I can blame her, I know what it's like trying to eat a meal when your children are on top of you!) and the baby was crying for her. The boys were very concerned that the mommy had left her baby.
So they got as close as they could to try to comfort the little thing. We showed the boys where the goat's mommy was and that what the baby was doing was similar to when Danny and Jayden say "mommy, mommy, mommy" over and over and over.... That seemed to ease their concern. Not long after that, the mommy goat came over and got her baby and all was well.
After that, Danny decided that he wanted to take a picture of the goats. I don't have any to post because most of them were extremely blurry. Danny doesn't quite get the concept that you cannot run and take pictures at the same time. He does, however get the concept that if you hold the camera high over your head, you can irritate your little brother. And it's even funnier when you take a picture of him while he's frustrated!
Poor Jayden, after the Halloween Party, the day at Apple Hill and visiting the goats, he was pooped. We got back to my parents house and he crashed out on the sofa.

See...you *definitely* need to come visit my neck of the woods....we've got goats that live across the street and cows on the property behind us, not to mention the chickens and rabbits right in our own yard! The boys would have a blast for sure.
