Bringing home the baby chicks

We got to bring home the baby chicks that were hatched at Grandpa Camp.  We planned to get chickens next summer so we already had the coop, it just took a little re-arranging to get ready for the chicks.  Ridge was super excited and he checks on them first thing when he wakes up, throughout the day and last thing before bed.  Lillian loves them too but isn't as gentle.  We've named them all but tend to get confused on who is who.  There are two that look almost the same so Ridge named them Katie and Nicole after his twin cousins.  There is also Wolverine, Doughnut, Pecky, Rubber Ducky, Oreo, Spots, Dotted head, Blacky, Tickle torcher, Twin Head, and I think Jumpy. 





We got a ton of apples from Daniel's parents tree. Instead of picking them he climbed up and shook the branches, Ridge said it was raining apples and thought it was funny that he got bonked by one.  I was very busy after that making apple sauce which will be wonderful to have stored up for winter.
