The Cole Homestead

New members of the family

We had five new members introduced to our family today.  Their names are Lilly, Lolly, patches, Zoe and Jay.  They are all fainting goats. 

We have been talking for a year or two now about how we would love to get a few goats to chump the weeds and be playmates for our children.  I thought maybe two since I know they need company but I recently saw a deal for 5 fainting goats.  One male and 4 gals to keep him company.  I am not sure if we are taking too much on but so far it has been great! (We will see if I fell that way in a few days or maybe even hours.)

The trip home was very easy.  It took us about an hour and a half and the all road quite well.  Four of them in the back of our Explorer and one four month old named Patches riding in my four year old lap.  She just laid there and watched the traffic.  So cute!

They are playing in the yard now and seem to be adjusting very well.  They are playing in the children's play yard and eating the mulberry tree we have been trying to kill for 3 years.  I they keep on it!  I will try to post a few "fainting on Wednesday.
