Learning how to milk a goat!

Oh I was so excited. I think learning how to milk a cow was on my bucket list but a goat works too! So each evening all the goats get tied to their post by the young boys. Well, tonight- Machakos was milking this mother goat. I asked him my 2 favorite questions (1) What are you doing? (2) Can you teach me? And he did! It was kinda hard at first but I had him show me again. I got the hang of it. The goat was pretty cooperative I thought. But then again I was just focused on the milking part- the 2 children were holding her still. We filled up this whole cup with goat's milk.
