One of the things I'm loving about being up in Oregon is the exposure the kids get to nature, to animals, and farming, and seasons. Uncle Robert got some chicken eggs from the neighbor and hatched them with the kids. They got to mark them and although they weren't old enough to help him flip them they watched him flip them back and forth each day and definitely had their favorites. He showed them the chicks growing inside the egg by shining a flashlight through it even before they hatched and then they watched them hatch into baby chicks. It'll be fun to do it again when they are old enough to understand and help a little more but this was fun too.
What a treat!!!! Such a special thing for the kids to get to see!
