The goslings are really getting big. I promise, I do put clean water in the pools every day, but it doesn’t take long to look dirty.
Note that there is plenty of parent supervision here.
There’s also a couple of jealous ones that haven’t quite figured out how to get in there yet.
If goslings told fish tales: ”I tell you it was this big.”
“Oh yeah. Well mine was this big.”
It seems like just yesterday that they were tiny little fuzzy fluffballs.

they are cute! i believe you on the water – even the dog’s pool gets filthy looking within a day or two and they’re not even in it!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 15:12:35
It’s so hot, it has that green algae on the sides that makes the water look dirty. You just can’t keep them clean in weather like this.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 15:18:26
Squeeee! Even with feathers I love ‘em!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 15:23:54
These geese are pretty mellow. They aren’t the mean kind.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 15:45:40
They are so cute. When they grow up geese can be mean, it seems!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 15:59:16
Some can be mean, but the Chinese and African (which these are) seem to be pretty mild mannered.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 16:13:21
So darn sweet. My heart went out to the little ones looking in. Enjoyed your narrative on the fish story. Too cute!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:50:04
They really don’t think it’s fair that they can’t get in yet, but if they can’t get in, they can’t get out.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 16:17:17
oh my goodness they are just too cute! They make me want to come play!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:50:23
It is fun to watch them play!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 16:23:29
they are so cute!
thanks for joining us
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:50:48
I’m so glad you host. The goslings really are a lot of fun to watch, and I just love their little baby voices.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 17:57:58
They are adorable! It looks like it will be more crowded when the others figure it out!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:51:46
They will all have a lot of fun!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 18:39:31
Aww,that is so cute!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:52:40
The goslings are a lot of fun to watch. If only they could stay cute and little like that.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:46:02
They are so sweet and cute.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:53:00
I do adore the goslings!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:56:41
They sure are growing! Looks like fun!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 19:58:04
I can’t believe how quickly they grow up and lose their baby looks and voices.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 20:03:35
They are so cute and LOVE the color. Will they stay that color like the mother?
Jul 17, 2012 @ 20:06:47
The yellow ones will be white and the darker ones will stay the darker colors. They are African and Chinese.
Jul 17, 2012 @ 20:42:18
Such sweet captures! Happy WW!
Jul 17, 2012 @ 20:49:41
Thanks. The babies are always sweet.
Jul 18, 2012 @ 07:47:42
The do grow extremely fast — but yours are still in that cute stage.
Jul 18, 2012 @ 08:31:10
It’s so hot they haven’t really started getting feathers yet~they don’t need them.
They are getting tall though.
Jul 18, 2012 @ 08:09:05
How CUTE! They are so adorable when they are little.
Jul 18, 2012 @ 08:31:27
Yes, if only they could stay cute and little.
Jul 18, 2012 @ 08:45:59
This post made me smile. BIG
Not much cuter than li’l goslings.. especially taking their first bath! Goose water is *never* clean, even five minutes after cleaning/refilling! I think my goose couple has a purely platonic relationship (Greta is an old lady.. don’t know if that’s the reason). But, I sure miss babies! Thanks for sharing yours ♥
Jul 18, 2012 @ 08:58:04
It was just cleaned really. There’s so much green stuff stuck to the sides, but it’s so hot I can’t keep it off. Poor kids, but they really look like they don’t mind. You can’t hardly find those two out of the pool anymore.
Jul 18, 2012 @ 11:20:56
Oh my. This is adorable!!
Jul 18, 2012 @ 11:31:18
The goslings are irresistible!
Jul 18, 2012 @ 12:10:25
Your photos always bring me so much joy! Thank you SO much for sharing them with us at WW at Create With Joy this week!
Have a fabulous day and I hope you’ll join us for Friendship Friday!

I didn’t realize you had a Friendship Friday. That sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for being such a great hostess as always!
Jul 18, 2012 @ 13:15:17
Love goslings. We only see the wild ones here and the parents keep you at a distance. They make great parents and will protect the babies of other geese if they need to. Geese have a wonderful culture they live by. Thanks for the darling pictures …

They really do live the theory that it takes a whole gaggle to raise a gosling!
Jul 18, 2012 @ 15:56:44
My goodness! They are so cute! I love your captions, too
Jul 18, 2012 @ 16:11:09
Thanks. I just love the goslings!
Jul 18, 2012 @ 16:36:19
They sure are cute and I love the fish tales!
Jul 18, 2012 @ 17:33:10
Really, they are adorable. I just wish they would stay so small and cute!
Jul 19, 2012 @ 14:35:38
How wonderful! I’ve raised laying hens and for years I did wild duck rehab, raising hundreds of ducklings. It was fun to see your goslings in their pool – brought back memories of the messy fun!
Jul 19, 2012 @ 15:36:51
It really is a joy to watch the little ones playing in the water!
Jul 20, 2012 @ 12:22:21
Wonderful series of photos. They are adorable!
Jul 20, 2012 @ 12:49:01
Thanks. The goslings are adorable!
Jul 23, 2012 @ 21:40:36
Oh I know about that dirty water thing first hand too! I have 4 ducks and am completely amazed with how quickly they can make a perfectly clean pool dirty. They’ve got it down to a science, really.
Jul 23, 2012 @ 21:44:57
They do, and the geese are worse. But I do love them~so much fun to watch.
