There is nothing quite as beautiful as a spring day in D.C.  So happy we took the afternoon off and braved the crowds and traffic to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms.

After much persuading Rob caved this spring and let the Holman chicks purchase chicks.  What a fun adventure they have been.  We were able to pick-up 6 from on a friends house on April Fool's Day.  I told they girls we were going to look at her chicks, with a sneaky surprise up my sleeve.  We arrived at the house and each girl was holding a chick, oohing and awwing over their cuteness.  I then asked what they thought of those cute little fuzz balls.  They all gave me a look and I announced that we would be taking them home.  Three big girls thought I was pulling their leg, what a fun surprise. 
The next day we made a visit to our local feed store and picked out 4 additional chicks.  Making for a nice even 10.  What a great adventure!

 

*Update:  We collected our first egg yesterday, exciting time!

CHICKS ROCK!
