Our Little chicks aren't that little anymore!

Our chicks have moved outside and are really growing fast.  They always seem to find ways to get out of there pen, and it's really hard to get them back in.  But they are so cute and when you settle them on your shoulder you can just cuddle them with your cheek.  Our tamest are Bobby our rooster, and Tamie.  Bob doesn't really like being held but Tamie loves it.  Bobby just likes eating scratch out of our hands.  Hey!........................................Gee, Yah!...............................................Get! Gee, shoo! ..................................Yah! ..........................................................Shoo!............. Get in there!.. ....

Whoo!  Sorry about that!  All the noise you just heard was us herding about all 25 of our little chickies back in to the pen.  Someone had left the pen door wide open and they were all up and in the woods, around the pen, and the bolder ones wandering in to the orchard.  It was hard work getting them back in!

And to get back to what I was saying, Bobby isn't that fond of being held. Here are a couple pictures of our chicks. 

Bob is the brown and white one with his leg up.

This is Tamie. She is the tamest.

Tamie is always on the alert.

This is baby, the smallest of them all.

Hello Tamie!

When these white ones were little they were yellow.



I think this one is one of the prettiest.

No I am the prettiest!!!

Hazel!

 

A trip to Grandfather

Yesterday we went to Grandfather Mountain.  It was very fun.  It was our first time and we learned a lot of new things about it. 

This was a huge tree that Noah was afraid there were snakes in.

The museum was very fun.


This huge crystal was really neat!

                                                   This bear and her cubs were really cute.

This was in the bear habitat.

The cougar habitat.

The otter habitat was closed so there were know otters  there, but is was still interesting to look into the water.

 

 Finally we were ready to got to the bridge......

 

If you had not noticed, it was looking a little stormy in the last picture. 

 

When we got to the bridge it was about to rain and

it was really windy.  Ruthie and Sarah cried as soon as they saw it.  Mamma didn't really want us to go on very much because the entrance wasn't safe and the wind was getting a little bit higher. 

 

It was a little bit scary but the view was beautiful.  To bad we didn't get to go on it, but maybe next time. :)

We had a lot of fun visiting Grandfather, and I hope to go there again soon. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magic kit

Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 11.  I got a kit with lots of magic tricks.  It was so fun I went ahead and learned all the tricks, and did a magic show that night.  It was very fun.

Other then some new chicks, quite a few bangs and crashes a day, plus the exciting new pitchfork, we live a very peaceful life.

These are our new little chicks.
