EASTER and CHICKS Part 2


April 13 & 30, 2020

At Easter Grandma promised the boys we would have “Easter in July” at the cottage this summer.  Then we could all celebrate together.  In the meantime, Barbara, Grandpa and Grant were mailing quizzes and activities to the boys.  Grandpa sent Sam a few photos of a peregrine falcon who would be nesting again in Ottawa this year at the Tax building on Heron Rd.





Again using Duo, the boys proudly showed their now large chicks to the family. David was looking after Minnie who was still tiny compared to the others.

CHICKS

April 3, 2020

The two week family isolation/home schooling soon extended. To help the boys enjoy their long home stay, Papa and Maman decided to get eight chicks for them to look after.  This was a great experience – plus a lot of work building a safe chicken coop and securing a safe outdoor running space for the little chicks.  The boys soon got used to feeding them and cleaning up the chicken coop.  They introduced them to Grandpa, Barbara and Grant on Duo.
