Babies First Day Out.

Priscilla's babies are doing wonderful.  We had them stay with mama in the stall from when they were born Sunday night until Tuesday afternoon.  I wanted to make sure that they were all doing well nursing and strong on their feet before going outside.

When the kids came home from school on Tuesday we went down to the barn and let Priscilla and the babies out into the sunshine for a few hours.

They loved it!!!

They enjoyed walking around and doing these funny little jumps.  It's amazing how fast they develop.

Here are some individual pictures of the babies on their first day outside.  They really enjoyed being outside in the fresh air and sunshine.  Priscilla was very happy too and was chomping away on the green grass.

The babies played and explored for quite awhile and then found a nice spot in the grass for a nap while the kids and I fed everyone.

Lots of people were asking how big they were and we never weighed them because they wouldn't register on our scale so here is a picture of Jamie holding Cole so you can see how little they are.

After everyone was fed, Priscilla and the babies went back into the pen for the night.  We like to have them stay in the pen so none of the other goats won't accidentally step on one of them and it gives Priscilla a break from always trying to keep and eye on them and worrying who is around them.

We were able to get a video of them outside too.
