Needless to say, they were thrilled and fascinated. The goats were only 3 days old, and still had their umbilical cords attached and hanging down, as seen in the picture below.
Anne and Joseph make the acquaintance of Bella, Wilson, and Bucky:
Our neighbor said she had to go to a meeting and asked if we wanted to watch the goats for a couple of hours. We said sure!
Bucky comes over to nuzzle Joseph.
Joseph likes it!
The kids all wanted to hold a baby goat, but Catherine was the only one who could hold on long enough for me to take a picture:
When it was dinnertime (for us), we just loaded them back up in the box and took them into the kitchen by the table, where they promptly fell asleep. Such cute little things. Of course, as soon as their owner came by to collect them, our children started asking for a baby goat. Hmm. I don't think we're ready for that yet.

That's awesome! We've talked about getting goats, but are leaning toward some sheep (in a few years). I'm a little worried about the kids, though. (My kids, that is.) They didn't have any problems when we butchered the roosters and ate them, but a little lamb is a lot cuter...
