Pioneer Day

This is our second time in the local Pioneer Day Parade. Last year we walked (I don't think we brought bikes). Trevor walked with his Scout Pack last year, also.
This year we decided to bring 3 of the baby goats to walk with us. All week I kept reminding the kids of the parade and to think of a way to show them off. Well, the day came and there were still no ideas. They did need to be clean though. So, I bathed them. Kelsey decided to put bandanas on them. They looked adorable. How can baby goats not look adorable. They were so cute, and everyone seemed to love them.
Now, the parade route is very short, probably no more than 1/2 mile, but one of the little ones decided he was done and just laid down. He wasn't going another step. So, Fred picked him up and carried him the rest of the way to the park. When we reached the park, we cooled them off and rested in the shade while the kids played. Kelsey climbed the climbing wall and the boys jumped in the bounce house, both are always a hit!!
We knew there was no way that little boy was going to walk back to the car, so Fred and boys made the SHORT hike back to the car.
It was a fun experience. Next year the little (won't be little next year) goats will be pulling carts or packing LIGHT packs. They will be too young to have much weight, but they will be going through the motions. Who knows, maybe we'll even have a horse with us. It all depends on how many hands we have available :D! The animals give us all (even Fred sometimes) great pleasure and keep us smiling with their silly antics.
