We went to visit our neighbors just down the hill to see their chickens yesterday. Glen and Laura are such gracious and friendly hosts. They raise chickens for Tyson that are used for the meat. There were 23,000+ chickens in each of their two houses.
But, the exciting part was yet to come......a tour of the vegetable garden. Sean got to pick some blackberries and eat them. He saw beans, cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupes, tomatoes and more growing.
He was thrilled with Laura dug some potatoes and he got to bring them home. We're going to eat them for supper tonight.
Who would have thought that what I had envisioned as a ten minute visit to look at chickens would turn into such an educational experience for Sean? A child's enthusiasm is contagious and I think it gave all our hearts a lift!
