We are getting ready to go on a family vacation for the weekend at Fort Lone Tree, near Capitan New Mexico. This morning we moved mamma chicken and her brood out of her brooding box and into a small cage is some big weeds (one of the few things...other than animals, that we can grow here) so they could have sunshine, fresh air, and shelter in the weeds. Below are some better pictures of the chicks. We had a whole photo shoot, but if you have ever tried to take pictures of animals, or of anything living for that matter, you end up taking lots of pictures and come up with only a few good ones.

| Gabe's chick, Goldie. He has no idea whether it is a boy or girl, but its name is Goldie none the less. |

| They are so tiny (did I mention that before?) |
We ended up getting started a little later than planned then took the wrong turn in Roswell, New Mexico. When we looked on the map we saw a road connecting the road we were on and the one we needed to be on. One thing we hadn't counted on was the road was a dirt road made for off-road vehicles and cow. We made it though with out 15-passenger van.
Later when we arrived they hosted a dance as that evening's entertainment, unfortunately we didn't get any pictures, because they were using our phone as a music source.
