A visit to Uncle Karl's

It was a perfect trip for an Easter weekend . . . to Uncle Karl's house to see bunnies and chickens and ducks!

The two gorgeous ducks didn't like these free-range kids very much but you can see them in the background here (to the upper left of Nate's head).

Uncle Karl had some pretty neat set ups for the chickens.  This was a pretty normal-looking shed with an opening in the back for the chickens to wander in and out.  You can see the nesting quarters in the bottom right of the picture. 

I was joking that this coop is about the size of the underneath of our new tree house . . . and I know the neighbors had a few chickens last year.  Hmmmm . . .

Nate loved this group of chickens so much that they probably each gained 2 lbs from all the bread he fed them!

I think this group was one of Allie's favorites . . .

Here Nate is telling me how the piece of bread he just threw bounced off the chicken's head . . .

 And Nate wasn't too concerned with the bunnies but Allie couldn't leave without petting one . . .
