Chickens!!

 Today was an amazing (yet insane) day at the Hennhouse. This morning we all woke up extra early to get to a friends house by 7:30 am to help them with them with their new 24 hr old chicks. The chicks arrive in the mail and if they don't get water, they might die. So, Mrs. D went and picked up the chicks at the post office and by 7:30 we were there. We had a great time. You just pick up the chick, and dip its head in the water so that it swallows some. We almost had an assembly line going, pick up the chick, dip its beak in the water, make sure if drank some ( the chicks head will slightly shake and its beak will open and close) then after it drank had it to the person inside the area where the chicks were. The little chicks were adorable, it was like a little ball of yellow fluff, and they had the cutest noise. Sometimes you could even feel its heart beating! It got very crowded in the little coop so Bear and some other kids went and fed and did stuff with the horses.   Everybody was SOOO well behaved and absolutely loved helping with it. It made us all want chickens..........Don't think that will happen. :)

You can tell we were just a little tired. :)

Hennhouse Updates

It's been almost a whole month since the last time anybody posted anything!  That is just sad. Because you know in a month at the hennhouse a lot can happen..... So this will be a fairly long post. :)

In september we went on a church reatreat at Twin Lakes Christian Center. It's a great place with a lake, zipline, climbing wall, ball pit, just lots of entertainment. We all had a really great time and it was nice to just get away and hang with all of our friends! The only thing is I don't have any picture of it so you're going to have to just imagine it in your head. bummer.
Also in September we went to the Fairview schoolhouse with some homeschool buddies. That was super fun. We all got to dress up in old fashioned clothing, bring a praire style lunch, and sit in those fun desks that are nailed to the ground! And luckily I do have some pictures of that.

I say we make a great group of pioneers!

Just a couple more things. Earlier this month we went to this GREAT resturant called the Black Bear Diner. It was great to have family time together and we all had fun eating out.
Here are the pics.

what a great idea! you can sit over here and read books while you wait for your food!
