This afternoon we got out of the city for some fresh country air. A trip to the farm was in order. I wasn’t sure how my city crew would fare. Not to fear! They had an amazing time!
Markus was giving the chickens a run for their money. All the kids were. Check out their delighted faces!
And that, my friends, is a free range chicken.
A trip into the chicken coop to see where our eggs come from.
Markus was so proud to have picked an egg.
Such a beautiful bird.
The poults (baby turkeys – had to google that one!) are only 10 days old. The kids were a little apprehensive at first, but after petting one they were eager to get into the pen and get a closer look.
Markus made himself busy picking these tiny birds up and moving them around, and giving them a higher view.
He would have stayed for hours more if I’d have let him.
City kids. This country-raised girl never thought she’d have a brood of city kids under her wing. I think there’s a lot of country hiding under their shells though.
wonderful, though I have to ask… where is my picture of Deacon?!
He was tagging along on my back the whole time. Once he’s walking I’m sure he’ll be madly chasing chickens too!
Perhaps you could train one of your kids on the camera so that next time I’m not left wanting – just a suggestion.
Markus is actually getting pretty good with the camera, but he was too busy chasing chickens and holding turkeys that I didn’t even think to pass it off to him.
