What a beautiful spring day!

The afternoon began at Mamaw and Pa's house.  First we had to pay a visit to the chickies.  My Mom has wanted chickens since the day they moved into their house 18 years ago.  It just so happens that the neighbor went to TSC a few weeks ago and thought the chicks were cute, but then realized that she didn't really have a place for them to grow into adult chickens, so she brought them down to my parents place, and of course Mom was thrilled to have 12 new babies to care for.  Chloe loves them, especially the two black ones.  She always tells Poppa "get it, black one, Chloe hold you".  The chicks spent their first day outside in the pen that Mom and Pop made this week.  Miss Chloe wanted right in there with the chicks.  She is not a bit afraid of them.  From their house, we headed out on a bike ride to Swinford Park in Plainfield.  Chloe is now old enough to ride on the back of the bike.  I gave it a try last summer, but the helmet was too big.  The helmet fits perfectly now, so we went out for a ride today.  She loved it.  She said "Momma ride bike, Chloe ride with Poppa, Chloe likes it". We hung out at the park for an hour or so, had a bite to eat, and then headed back to Mamaw and Pa's.  Chloe was worn out and fell asleep on the way home. We had a wonderful time and I think we will be heading out on the bikes again soon.
