Farm Country

Tonight for FHE, Garrit and I took Drew to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. He LOVED it! Here are the pics:



Garrit said I can get a baby chick!!! (I wanted a pig but, hey, I'll take what I can get.) Now I have to find a place for it in our yard. Has anyone ever raised a chicken? Any tips?

Looks like you had a fun time--cute pictures!

Ever since I watched Uptown Girls I've always wanted a little pig too! So cute.

I've raised baby birds but not chickens...

We have raised chickens....we love them!! I can give you some tips! One year, after they had grown big we didn't have to keep them in a cage, they just stayed on our yard, we would pull up to our house after being gone, and our chickens would come running to greet us! They are fun!....Drew looks more grown up!!

Leah we had pigs and chickens. I must say that I don't think you want either. The only good thing about them is eating them. Pigs really love to be in the mud and eat anything and everything. They're big and fat and stinky. Chickens are only fun as chicks. Then they grow up and don't hold still and just flap around like crazy. I hate to crush your dreams, but my advice is DON'T DO IT!!

Leah! Have you been to www.shortcuts.com? You use your AIM/AOL screen name and your Smith's card (or wherever you shop) and it loads the coupons to your card so when you buy those things it gives you the coupon automatically. Also, I don't get the newspaper so my coupon options are limited but I found P&G eSaver so that is fun.

Anyway.. shortcuts.com :)

Leah,
Just so you don't feel bad or think that you pop comment was offensive. IT wasn't!!! My gorgeous picture post wasn't actually geared to you. I have a friend who asks WHY I AM HIDING everytime I post anything And she is always wanting me to show my belly so I did it. I love that you asked if I was going to Pop because I hope that I do soon!
