Chick sitting

Sunday evening we picked up our good friends chicks to "chick sit." 

They are away for a week and have one week old layer chickens that needed watching so my girls happily volunteered. They have been in love, and they are pretty fun to watch and hold... Other then the smell in my kitchen! 

This morning they took them for show and tell and they were quite the hit! 

Adessa was so excited to hold them and show them off and tell them their names...

Danika loves them and is quite bossy with them as they are her friends- Hannah's chicks that she got as a birthday present! 

Amara constantly wants to hold them and loves them so much. I'm just scared she'll love one too much! 

After school today we went to the Nagtegaal farm for a horseback ride on their beautiful new horse- Molly. All the girls are in love! She is such a sweet horse and Caroline is loving having it. 

Amara was so brave and loved being on the horse.. Acting like it was no big deal and wanting to go faster! 

Pretty lucky to have such awesome friends! And we just filled our freezers with a quarter cow, and half a pig, and pick up our farm fresh eggs from them. As well as got a load of cow poo for our garden beds! So exciting. Hopefully we can grow some food this year!
