Here's the latest happening in the henhouse:
The big egg on the left turned out to be a double yolker! Yeah, Girls!
Right now, the basket on our counter holds just over a dozen eggs. However, that's not because the Girls are suddenly laying lots of eggs each day. That's because the Chicken Tenders were gone last week, and none of the replacement Tenders ate any of the eggs that they collected (i.e., my mom and dad). I'm not sure why. Maybe because they wanted to eat poorer quality, store bought eggs?
Not to worry, the Girls seemed perfectly fine while we were gone. Here's a picture my dad sent the first day he watched them. Notice the new insulation inside the coop that will (hopefully) keep the Girls a bit warmer since colder temps are headed this way.
The dogs were a different story. They were quite sad when we left. This is another photo Dad sent. Note the sad puppy dog eyes. Also note that the dogs spent quite a bit of time on the couch while we were gone.
The Chicken Tenders flew the coop for a week, but where did we go? Here are some hints.
If you guessed Florida, you're right. Back in March we won this trip to a resort in Orlando. Jason bought a $10 ticket and apparently it was the lucky ticket!
The trip was splendid. One Chicken Tender flew for the first time (and loved it),
All the Chicken Tenders ate sweet treats (and loved them),
Visited with exciting creatures,
Rode rides and won some games,
Met a few interesting characters along the way,

And had a roaring good time.
The dogs were quite happy to see us come home, especially the white one, who usually doesn't care one way or the other.
And, we came home to a clean house and homemade lasagna and soup. Thanks, Dad and Mom, you rock!
