Chicken Feed, a Faceplant, and a Happier Ending
Monday, May 18th, 2009We headed over to my friend Simon’s house yesterday for his daughter Grace’s 7th birthday. Evie loved feeding the chickens (including a bunch of 3-day-old chicks, not visible in the pictures).
There was a fantastic moonbounce in the front yard (I think these are called “bouncy castles” in the UK), so Emma decided to let Evie go down the slide solo. The first run went great, which I didn’t catch on tape. Evie’s second solo run, however, was a little bit of a catastrophe:
After a few seconds of bawling, Evie was game enough to try again, though this time on Emma’s lap. Things went much better.
I’m thinking about getting some chickens for our back yard. My friend Simon has a bunch—both English and Bantams—and they’re surprisingly great.
