Our new "kids"

This past weekend my awesome hubby and kids worked hard in the sweltering heat and humidity to get a goat pen and home up and ready for our newest arrivals to our homestead. While I was at work they prepared the pen and built their home mostly without a hitch! It is beautiful as my Hubby has become quite the craftsman. He doesn't realize it, but I am so proud of what he does and what he has accomplished. Before I arrive home Sunday he picked up two of the billies and one decided to be a "free spirit". He found a nice little hole to squeeze himself out of. It was not till I got home that we could trap him using another piece of panel. Before we could even get excited for catching him, he popped himself out again. So we figured we would let him be as he stayed at the pen with the other billie.  I figured if he could get out he could also get back in himself. So he spent the night outside the pen and most of the next day. I guess he began to get bored and thirsty I imagine so he did go in. I immediately blocked the panels to avoid another espace. We double paneled the pen when Hubby got home, and I think its safe to say at this point that they are content. Monday we picked up our female who is more human than goat! She loves the company of people, but I think has taken nicely to her new found friends. Last night we made a nice little climbing area to keep them occupied. Unfortunately they did not get to play too long as a storm came in and they did not want to play in the storm!
