Sandbox and Goat Trap

The kids have gotten great use out of the sandbox this summer. We started out with a load of sand that was too much for the sandbox, now we are getting close to the bottom, even after emptying the extras in. Too bad most of that sand has ended up on my planter beds and on the rock pathways...nothing a little winter rain can't wash away (hopefully).

Filling up each others shirts with sands to make pregnant bellies like moms. So silly!

After Sylvia got a goat horn to her eyelid, we decided it was high time to do something about it. Cordell built this great goat stand/trap (thanks to instructions online) and we were able to take off the sharp points from our 2 goats with horns. This worked much better than us trying to flip them on their sides and me sitting on them while Cordell tried trimming their hooves. Preston was a great tester outer!

Sylvia was being nurturing while he was in the goat trap and even gave him a kiss on the head and their wasn't anything Preston could do about it.
