Today was annual chicken beheading day. Jason was here this year which in my opinion made the whole venture just fly by. We got over to Pam & Phils about 11:30 a.m. and started about noon. 30 chickens in 3 hours! According to them we got done in a FLASH! Kirra actually helped hold chickens upside down, and helped bleed them out! Whether she was actually enjoying helping out or not – she was still willing to get her hands and legs dirty! The most disturbing part however was when she picked up a decapitated chicken head and was walking around the yard with it asking if we wanted to pet it.Um. No thanks kiddo! she was so great though. I was really impressed with her! Expose ’em young right? Our family ended up with 10 Chicks. We got home around 11pm, and headed right to bed!

Since Jason was out of town this week, I packed up Kirra and we went on a field trip to Elk River to see Pam & Phil. They raise chickens and turkeys at their home, so we went out to go see them, and have dinner with them.
It was such a lovely visit. Those two are truly kindred spirits! Pam made a divine dinner of chicken, stuffing, vegetables and had wine too! Then we went out and showed Kirra all of the animals and she could hardly contain her excitement!  We ended up staying until 9:45pm. Here are some photos from our trip to the Bergstrom’s!
