What started out as an innocent trip out to the Valks to go swimming turned into much more than we were planning on! After swimming, the girls asked Don for a ride on the four-wheeler. So Don took them out to the ranch and back. Imagine our surprise when Madison came back with a baby chicken! (Don told them they could keep it if Mom said it was OK - thanks Don!). Well, Mom finally agreed to one night with the chick. They were so excited! They even decorated its box so it would be cozy. Rob and I were just praying that it would survive the night in the garage (the chicks like it WARM). Unfortunately the girls didn't get to spend as much time with "Robbin" as they would have liked, since they had school the next day. But Robbin was awake and chirping "Good Morning!" to them when they got up. After school they let it out in the kitchen so it could get some exercise - you'll have to click on the video below. Sadly (for the girls, at least) the day came to a close, and Robbin had to be returned. I'm sure it is doing quite well back at the ranch, and is telling all of its friends about its exciting adventures at our house, right Don? :)

Your girls with that little chick is the cutest thing ever!! I loved the video. That's so fun that you let them have a chick for a day.
That was hilarious!! The girls looked like they were having such a great time with that little chick. What a nice mom you are for letting them bring it home for the night and I'm glad it lived through the cold.
