We've Added Chickens and a Trampoline

Saturday was a big day for us.
After spending the morning with Lexi at a Stake Relief Society Conference, we came home to await the arrival of our grandchildren...cuz we had places to go and things to do.
While Lexi and I were gone, Jordan and Del went and picked up a trampoline we bought from some ward members that moved to Utah.  It's in pretty good shape and broken in, so we decided it would be a great investment for the family and Preston and Madi.  The men had put it over by the swing set and near the fire pit, so it's in a perfect place for the kids to jump and be in the direct path of playing fun.
When Mike arrived about an hour later with the kids, we took them all over to a nearby 'nursery' where they sell animal food, plants, garden seeds...and baby CHICKS!!!!  Yup, we bought 12 baby chicks, that in about 4 weeks, should be old enough to put out into the chicken coop that Del will be building over the next few weeks.  Preston and Madi were so funny taking in all the excitement, especially Madi.  She wanted to touch them, and kept saying 'oh, oh' as she would point at them.  She also loved the momma rabbit that was there, that had just delivered 12 new babies the night before.
We had the chicks boxed up for us, bought all the supplies for them and then brought them home, where we have set them up in the garage until they are old enough to be out in the garden area.  We have a heat lamp on them to keep them warm, although, it's really not too cold for them either.  They are three weeks old and still considered babies...We got Buff Orpington's, which will lay brown eggs and Leghorns, which will lay white eggs.  They won't start laying for about another 5 months.  So, by the middle of summer, we should start getting about a dozen eggs a day.  How fun for us!!!  It will be most fun, when in about 4 weeks or so, we can have them out wandering around the backyard and garden with the kids chasing after them.  Of course, we will put them in their coop every night, as we have enough threats of wild life that will want to eat them for lunch - or dinner - and/or breakfast!!
