Top Moments: Fun on the Farm

John's aunt and uncle live on a farm a few miles outside of Edgerton. Last year they invited us to come have supper with them and see their baby chicks. We got to hold those cute little yellow bundles and learn about how they care for them on the farm. Then a few months later they invited us back to chop off their heads, pluck their feathers, and pull out their inner parts...needless to say I preferred the first visit. :) Although I felt like I was in some crazy form of family initiation, I did very much enjoy having a bunch of very delicious chickens in our freezer by the end of the night.

So, this year they invited us and Caleb to come out and see the chicks. We thought we would let him get used to them before he comes back in May and sees us kill them all. :) We imaged he would want to grab the chicks and eat them...like he does everything else he sees...but he actually could have cared less about the chicks. He was more interested in the containers where their food was sitting. We had fun watching his facial expressions and then took him on a ranger ride around the farm to see the cows. He was pretty wide eyed through the whole evening, but seemed to have a good time. Hopefully this is the first of many of his adventures on farms in the area.
