Always a Fun Time at Pa's House

A week ago Heath took off to Minnesota for a few days to visit with family, baptize our niece, and bless her new baby. I took the kids and stayed at my parent's house while he was gone. We always have a fun time when we visit and the kids especially enjoy themselves. This time was no exception. The night we arrived my dad brought home a goat. Yes, you read that right - A GOAT! He is building a fence to house some goats on his "farm." He found a good deal on one and went ahead and got it. Sydney and Logan really liked it. Ok, Logan LOVED it and Sydney was a little apprehensive at first. Logan squealed and tried everything he could to open the cage and get at it. Sydney warmed up after watching Logan enjoy himself so much. It quickly became apparent that there is no way for us to have a pet (not that we want one) because Logan would "love" the poor thing to death. Sadly the goat got sick and died the next day but the children sure loved him for that one night.

So Logan did love it to death, then?

So sorry to hear about the poor goat!

GOATS, huh?! Cool stuff! How have you been feeling? I hope you all are doing well. We had our baby exactly two weeks ago and all is well! We wish we could see the Charters more often, though.

Hey Em! Congratulations on your newest addition! Do you have another son or daughter and what's the name? Hope you're all doing great!

FYI, we had a similar goat-for-a-day experience right after we moved to Bumpass. Are goats really that delicate?
