The rest of the weekend was fabulous! Sunday evening, we played the drawing game with Alicia's family. Sadly, Cory had to go pick up some goats in Alexandria, MN, so he couldn't participate in that game, but it was so funny. I was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my face. Alicia's family is pretty amazing, I am not going to lie!
Later that night we played CURSES!! So much fun! But so hard! You really cant get distracted for one second or you get in trouble. I will buy this game. And it will be amazing.
The goats. Oh dear. So, my dad in law raises goats. He got rid of most of his goats this past fall, I believe it was, and so recently, he bought more. Two more that is. He bought them from a lady in Alexandria, MN. He was going to be going to MN the same weekend we were, and so to save him some time and the world from pollution with gas, we volunteered to pick them up for him. I thought it was one goat until the day we left I was informed it was two goats. So we travel up to MN with two dog crates and it doesn't look like anything is going to fit after we assemble the crates. But we continued.....mainly cause there was no turning back.
Cory gets the goats and I have to admit, they are so cute. But loud. And stinky. Their voices were pretty horse from crying all night, so they were high pitched and squeaky when we started our trip home. After a long while, they finally quiet down.....but they would start right back up if we put on music, or if we talked out loud. And then every once in a while, this foul, rank smell would fill the car. Lovely. So, we would roll down the window to get fresh air, but that would bring up the very loud duet of beating. The car smelled like a petting zoo covered in poop.
When we got around St. Joseph, it got very loud. We had to stop to find the goats and us. Now, I have to say, the baby girl was so cute. I would hold her and she would calm right down. She would nuzzle her chin up to my neck and just snuggle with me. And once we fed her, I'm pretty sure she slept most the remainder of the trip. The bigger and older boy goat would drink from the bottle without getting out of his crate. Well that wasn't going to happen. Not in the middle of town. So we give him some hay. That stirs Cory's allergies up, and it turns out, I have a hay allergy too. So that was wonderful drying while we couldn't breathe.
We named these goats. The girl is Belle. (from beauty and the beast) and the boy is Chip. (also from beauty and the beast). I wanted to name him Gaston, but Cory didn't want him to be a bad guy.
Well, that is the end of the catch up. I hope you enjoyed it. Stay tuned. And remember to look both ways before you cross the street. God loves you!
