dreaming of chickens

As if I wasn't already wanting backyard chickens enough, a Cousins Camp trip to a small family homestead has made me absolutely smitten.

Without hesitation the kids gathered the warm eggs from right under the birds.  They also chased the sheep and cajoled the goats, fed the pigs, petted the bunnies and peered at the bee hives.

Of course they also did all of the usual cousining of much laughter, much fun, much love.  The very best of summer is spend with cousins, I say.
