Chickens

Our friend Rick's parents were in town and besides seeing all Raleigh had to offer, they wanted to see a toddler.  We were unable to make it to the dinner that they planned, so Jack and I headed over to see everyone on yesterday afternoon.  Rick and Rob have flock of chickens so I was pretty excited that Jack was going to get to see them.  When we got there, Rick took Jack outside to meet the chickens and Jack was mildly interested.  Then they came back inside to visit and Jack showed off all of his tricks.  After a while, a couple of the chickens got up on the deck so I took Jack over to the sliding glass door to show him.  He immediately sat down and was mesmerized by the chickens for a good 15 minutes.  Bookie and Max (the dogs) were very interested in sharing Jack's snacks while he watched the chickens, but Rick wouldn't let them.  When Jack grew tired of the chicken show, he got up and placed his snack cup in Bookie's kennel.  He's a good sharing friend!
