Baby Chicks

There is a lady in our ward that absolutely loves Bryson to death. We worked in scouts together and Bryson has come to love her also. She has five girls that are grown up, but never had any boys and she thinks Bryson is the cutest little boy and loves how he is all boy.
She has lambs and chickens and this spring she offered to give Bryson one of the new lambs and chicks. I told her she could do this, but that we didn't have any place to put them, so Bryson could go over to her house and care for them. I thought this would be a good way to do chores and have him have fun also. Two baby lambs were born about a month ago and just the other day she brought home some baby chicks.
We went over today for the first time to see the chicks and at first Bryson was a little hesitant, but by the end he was picking all the chicks up and playing with them. He loved them so much.

He also got to help give the lambs some hay and get the eggs from the older hens.
He had so much fun. She also asked us if we could babysit the chicks in a couple weeks while she goes on vacation. Bryson is so excited he can't stop talking about it.
Carley also had fun with the chicks. It wasn't until the very end that she finally was petting them and holding them.

Bryson is still trying to pick a name out for his new chick so if anybody has any suggestions, feel free to let us know

What a lucky little boy! Ty and I are always talking about how we want to live somewhere that would allow us to have chickens! That is so nice of that lady and what a great experience for Bryson!
