Road Trip: Friends

After leaving Wichita, we stopped to see some friends in Kansas City (I didn't take in my camera) and then drove a little more and stopped to see a good college friend of ours, Amanda. She lives out in the country and has goats and donkeys. I thought Lila would love getting to feed the animals, but I didn't count on the fact that it had rained and was therefore, muddy. Walking around to get to the goats, her shoe got stuck and her foot came out... right into the mud.

Even the goats couldn't distract her from her squishy toes, poor girl.

So we took her inside and washed off her feet before going to see the donkeys. Much better! Donkeys like to eat grass, but a special treat is a carrot! (They also really like peppermints, but only Amanda fed them those.)

Here's Lila, Wyatt, Amanda and Ben petting the donkeys.

In her front yard, she had a little bench, so I got a picture of the two of them together. We also went inside for a little bit and *tried* to play with Amanda's cats. They were not used to kids and wanted to hide. Lila kept trying to feed the cat too, even though we told her cats only eat when they want to. Then we said goodbye and headed down the road to my brother's.
