Does anyone know of kid-friendly 4th of July activities around CT? I'd love to visit a farm or something similar with the boys today! (They apparently consider our home "The Natural Life" and I want to keep 'em thinking that way!)

Happy 4th!!! Don't know how far you are from simsbury but there's a farm called flaming farm that has very cool thing for kids where they can feed the animals you can bring lunch and eat there, also have pony rides.We bring the kids there occasionally and they enjoy it and the people are friendly,you probably would have too call them to see if there open which they usually are.They are on West Mountan road.

Looks like the heat is going to be sticking around a few days too. Hope everyone is staying cool!

Its been forever since I've stopped in!
Hello again everyone!

My girls are 19 weeks old this upcoming tuesday. They free range out in my tiny yardmost of the day (as long as iI'm home and outside with them). Otherwise they are kept in their indoor (garage) homemade coop.

We are in the middle of moving across town, so with all of that going on, my husband and I decided it would be much easier for us to just buy a coop. It is being delivered on Monday and I cannot wait for it to be there so I can get these girls permanently outside!!

My first introduction was awhile ago, so I will reintroduce.

I'm Sara. my husband is Guy. We have 3 boys. Nathan is 6 and Evan and Aiden will be 3 on July 22. We are owned by 4 dogs (1 black lab, 1 min pin, 2 chihuahuas) 1 cat who rules the roost, and the 9 Chickens. We live in bristol and are just moving across town to a house that will give us a little more elbow room. (the twins were a HUGE surprise)

I will post some shots of the chickens soon. If i don't get off my phone and back to packing, my husband will have my head! Lol

Oh, but one question.
Every morning, for about 3 or 4 hours, every time my leghorns see me they in a way yell at me. Its this long deep throated caw. Is this normal? Are they fooling me and are really undercover roos!? I will post a video later too.
