Chicks and chickens and monkeys, oh my!

A visit through Granada :)

We were so generously invited to have lunch at the house of some friends who live near Granada (a town about an hour from us) which happens to, debatably be, the oldest cities in Central America. In addition to having a great lunch, we also got a tour of Linda and Julio's chicken farm! That is quite the excitement for a dozen kids :) And I have to say, it was pretty interesting for me too.

Chickens:



These are the egg laying chickens, there is a fancy conveyor belt type of thing that collects the eggs as they lay them and pass them down to the end of the line.


Here are the guys that collect the eggs at the end and put them into the cartons.


It is quite a process. . .

So after enjoying learning about all the chickens and their egg laying process we hopped over to Lake Nicaragua for a trip through the islets :)

The kids were thrilllllled to be riding on a boat and couldn't wait to see what adventures awaited them.

Successful day!
