Goat kids love to climb, so folks often accommodate them with various toys in the goat yard: empty cable spools, ramps, forts, picnic tables, etc. We've always had a stump. The original stump had pretty much disintegrated to dirt, so the other day Dan replaced it with a new one. The trouble was, it was the adults who argued over it, not the kids.
 |
| Violet claimed it but Daphne didn't like that and challenged her for it. |
 |
| Jessie was interested but didn't participate in the debate. |
 |
| Violet is more agile and equally stubborn, so she maintained top position. |
 |
| Everybody else just stood back and watched. |
Eventually the kids got their turn.

| One of Stella's girls with Luki's Daisy May |
 |
| Challenger April is biggest though and a queen in the making. |
 |
| Second sister was not allowed to jump up either. |
 |
| April was determined |
 |
| and won that round. |
 |
| One of Lini's twin girls. |
 |
| April restaked her claim by |
 |
| pushing her off. |
 |
| The victor enjoying her newly claimed territory |
 |
| until Lini's other twin makes her casual appoach. |
 |
| That didn't last long. |
 |
| And the game continues. |
Because of their coloring, I'm thinking of naming Lini's girls Elsa and Anna after the heroines in my granddaughter's favorite movie.
Those of you with young children or grandchildren will likely know what I mean.
