30 chicks and a duckling!

Faith with cousin Colton paying a visit to the newest additions to the Knopik household.

30 chicks ...

and a duckling!

We left early Friday morning (4:50 am to be exact!) to head to Eastern Washington to visit my brother Clint and his family. Faith said she wanted to leave as early as possible so that she could sleep the whole way. Of course, that didn't happen. She was way too excited and just couldn't seem to get comfortable. She thinks someone should invent a booster seat that is easier to fall asleep in. You know, like Jaron's car seat for toddlers. :)

We arrived in West Richland (shortly before 11:00) just in time to watch Colton get off the school bus right in front of his house. Faith was very excited when Colton had her get on the bus so that he could show her to some of his friends. I don't think the car waiting behind the bus was all that happy. She can't wait until she gets to ride the bus! Next year, maybe?

Saturday was Colton's 6th birthday party and we all got educated on Ben 10 (his favorite action figures). This was also the day the chicks Clint and Shanon had ordered arrived at the feed store. Clint and Dave took Colton and Jaron to pick them up first thing that morning. We were surprised to see that they had also brought home a duck. As soon as Shanon and I looked at it, we knew why they had brought it home......so cute!! Colton explained to Faith right away that as soon as the chicks grew big, they would get their heads chopped off. It didn't seem to bother her as long as they were safe for now. She checked on them every couple hours all day.

Today was one more visit with the chicks and on then on the road again!
