Chicken Run / Escape Artist

 We visited Mike's cousin Sandra for some plum pickin good times. She recently got chickens that she gives free range of her big yard. Liam was a little freaked out trying to herd them and keep them away from Emilia. Emilia on the other hand was clearly not freaked out and got right in the flock! Had a little chat... showed them some dandelions then picked it when they weren't interested. She proceeded to follow them about trying to give one hen the dandelion but they still wouldn't take it. It was darling. She was trying to share. When we give my aunt Robyn's hens food they are sooo excited and come right to your hand. These ladies aren't as fond of my kids yet. We need to visit more often and bring them treats too!


We work hard to protect our kiddos and they scheme ways we don't think are possible to get where they want to be... this gate was placed low enough there 'was no way she could get under it.,' She tried to prove us wrong and almost made it. If she wouldn't have panicked when her head touched the wood she would have discovered a slight turn of the head would have allowed her to shimmy all the way. Stinker! The gate has been lowered. Emilia... 17 months... stunt girl in the making.
