The hike back out was long and hot and largely uphill, so Finn gave Emma a lift for probably close to a mile.
Emma and Buster Brown formed an immediate bond and became inseparable throughout the hike. If Emma lagged behind, Buster stopped and waited for her. Once in a while, Buster would get nervous if the older goats got too far ahead, so he would trot a little and Emma would jog beside him with her hand on his back. Emma’s parents told us she would never have lasted the whole hike without Buster Brown to keep her company.
It was just a little further down this hill that Buster got a few feet ahead of Emma and she slipped. Buster turned around quickly and said, “Baaa!” with a worried look on his face. They could not have been a sweeter pair.
Emma climbed back on Finn for the final uphill portion of the trail. With the way her hair is blowing back, you’d think Emma and Finn were in a race! Emma later asked her mom if she could start taking goatback riding lessons!
Finn stuck his head over the side and flapped his ears in the breeze on the ride home.
We created lots of fun memories on Saturday, but this is the one I love best.
