Ten Things I Learned Chaperoning A Field Trip To The Goat Farm
1. The mission of this field trip was to milk this poor unsuspecting goat and take its milk back to school where Zoe’s cooking class would make goat cheese. I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
2. Zoe is not down with udders.
3. Neither is Troy.
4. A dog, a bunch of goats, a rooster, and some geese can live in perfect harmony, like the Kardashians.
5. While Troy expressed medium enthusiasm towards milking a goat, he was thoroughly incensed that he could not drive the tractor.
6. I really love chickens.
7. So does Troy. And I took this photo to show Jeff how to build a chicken coop (after he finishes the gd kitchen cabinets).
8. I asked the most questions out of anyone about the greenhouse that was being built on the goat farm. And by anyone, I mean the ten 6th graders plus Troy. I have wicked greenhouse envy.
9. I would grow kale, squash, cilantro, beans, and probably pumpkins. I clearly have no idea what you grow in a greenhouse.

10. Goats will try to bite your crotch while you are thoughtfully trying to Instagram their innocence. Goats be dicks.

I step away for just a few days b/c my internets broke down on me (THE HORROR) and I see the river of vomit, the yummy crumble and the crotch eating goats! Oh my! I hope you are now relaxing and drinking tea and not stopping any more pukeys with your feetsies. (The other day my cat was throwing up and was turning around to throw up on the carpet instead of the hardwood and I totally had to grab her and throw her across the floor (gently) while she was throwing up so it wouldn’t hit the carpet.)

I had to do the same thing with my cat FIVE TIMES!

This somehow reminds me if when I took my sons to Chokchai farm for my younger boy’s first birthday. They got to milk cows, ride horses, see a cowboy show, and listen to a presentation about invitro fertilization that made constant use of the words “artificial vagina”. It was a hit!

I am with Troy. I would have wanted to drive the tractor, too. Seems only fair on the farm fieldtrip!

Totally jealous. Now I’ll have to poke around and see if I can find a goat farm for Gabe. This… may not end well.

What do they use for the glass part of the greenhouse? That whole thing looks expensive.
I wish I had a space shuttle shirt.
Pot. I’m pretty sure that in Colorado, greenhouses are for growing pot.

Udders rhymes with shudders, so that right there explains the lackluster enthusiasm for milking.
Also, I love how you equated the Kardashians with a bunch of livestock. Daddy Karashian is totally a goose.

I admire your desire to grow things.
My mom passed on to me a lack of ability to keep any plant life alive, so I no longer have the desire to even try.

I so needed this today after an hour and a half nap battle. Thanks for the laugh. I have greenhouse and chicken envy. Those don’t really work in an RV though.
