Piglets!!! Koinkin :)




These 6 piglets were born just hours before I arrived. Little Kaway (daughter of Rebecca) showed them to me at her home. And of course I started taking photos right away! They are just so cute. And I got to learn a couple of new Mabaan words as well. I already knew the words for pig and pigs. But baby pigs have their own word- koinka (singular) and koinkin (plural) Oh I just think it's the cutest word! Even reminds me of the sound a pink make- OINK! 

Here are some cute pictures of these new baby piglets. The first day they were born and a few days later too.

Not sure what this is . . . maybe some type of TICK. Come out after the rains, bright red in color, almost fuzzy in appearance, about the size of the head of a nail

Old MacDonald had a farm . . .

Goat for wedding celebration tomorrow!

such cute piglets

Goats tied up to their posts for the night. Each night the same goat goes next to the same post. If they don't go on their own the boy children are responsible to put them on the right post! The father's help out too. I was so impressed when a 5 year old knew the exact location of all his family's goats!

Good 'ol Tidan!
