The first thing we did today was feed the baby goats. They are adorable! My kid is called Pineapple, but I also like Blackberry and Blackcherry. Afterwards we groomed and rode a horse named Patches. Grace and I ( we're are team 3 ) clean a mini pony's pen. I helped separate the cream. It is poured into a machine and it filters out the cream and skim milk. There isn't a lot of cream. You have to turn a crank for the machine to work. It is harder than it looks! Allie showed us our milk goats. They crowded all around me. In the field with the goats is a huge dog named Cricket. Later I helped make the custard so that we could make ice cream tomorrow. Then we had lunch. There is a zip line here so I played on that after I finished lunch. I can't remember exactly when, but at some point we went into the pen with our baby goats. They hopped up on us and some nibbled on my shirt. After lunch Grace and I helped make soap. When we were done, we did one of my favorite things : milking the goats. It is like milking a cow except you don't pull down on the teat. All you do is squeeze it. I think I got a pound of milk out of my goat, Trig. Now, I'm blogging, and there isn't much left to do. I can't wait for tomorrow!!
I love the pictures! I'm so glad you had fun. A pound of milk??? Love you, Mom
