Easter Chicks

This weekend Sam and Nana took a trip to the Farmer's Market and got a few baby chicks.  It is always an exciting time for the kids.  Nana always get a few each year to add to the chickens at the farm.  It was interesting to see the difference in the kids from one year to the next.  Last year Lily was just a little over a year and a little apprehensive of the chicks and Sam followed Nana's directions well.  This year both had lots of confidence with the chicks, so much we had to keep a close eye on them so that to not have the chicks squeezed too much or dropped.  

I think it is a great experience for the kids to see the chicks grow into hens that lay us eggs.  To see the food process and be a part of it.  Plus, baby chicks at Easter is really cute as well.
