New Baby Goat at Avila Valley Barn

The Avila Valley Barn had been closed since around Christmas time last year and it just recently re-opened. The kids love visiting the barn and seeing and feeding the animals so we didn’t waste much time in getting over there once we heard it was re-opening. We were lucky enough to be able to see a new baby goat that they have. The little one couldn’t have been very old, it still had the umbilical cord hanging. It was so adorable and we could have sat and watched it all day. It was jumping and bucking and I decided that I am glad that I am not a mommy goat because that would take and unbelievable amount of patience to put up with. Dylan decided he wanted to take the baby home with us and he was devising many plans to make this happen. He thought we should come back and visit and he could bring his rope and lasso the baby out. He didn’t seem discouraged when I told him the baby would miss his mommy and he wouldn’t be able to eat. He figures if we just kept it for a few days it would be fine. Aubri decided this trip that it is fun to feed the animals. Last year she would just throw the food at the animals, but this year she was okay with them taking it out of her hand. Of course when we visit the barn we also always have to have ice cream. It is a really fun treat for the kids to go to the Avila Valley Barn and they just love it!

Do you wanna dance…

Tomi took the kids to The Avila Valley Barn on a weekday and there was hardly anyone there. So Dylan and Aubri decided to take that opportunity to dance and run around the place as they pleased. Its nice to get these glimpses of them getting along so well, because I am sure we will need proof of it when they are much older.

Playing at the Avila Valley Barn

Mike was lucky and was able to get a 1/2 day off of work on Thursday 10/08/2009 so we decided we would head to the Avila Valley Barn to let the kids feed the animals and have some fun. We had a great time! The kids love feeding all of the animals, although Aubri really wants to feed them, but she wants you to feed them for her. Dylan always enjoys looking at the peacocks. They are his favorite and they were being very loud when we were there and Dylan said they were singing. Aubri is becoming much more vocal and you can hear in some of the video that she is really trying to get her point across. I think the kids also really like heading to the barn because they get to get ice-cream. Their ice-cream is actually really good, so it is always a nice treat. We should be heading back there in the next couple of weeks to pick out some pumpkins so I will try to get pictures from that day up as soon. Please enjoy our video and don’t forget we love to see comments.
