My neighbor and friend Katie homeschools her two daughters. Last week she called and asked if Whitley and Hattie could come over and see some exotic urban wildlife so of course I said YES!

They learned about urban chicken farming.

They made phone calls on a 1940s rotary-dial telephone.

The had no idea how to work it.  AND they called their dad who was at home taking a nap.  I’m sure he was greatly amused.

They learned that grown women can become obsessed with a toy that lost its relevance about 15 years ago.

The look of astonishment the first time kids see the Beanie Baby museum.

And finally, they met a handsome bunny with floppy ears who was outside enjoying the nice weather.

Hello ladies, can I interest you in a treat from my herb garden?

These nice young ladies did not leave empty-handed from their field trip.  A bunny and a chicken were their prize for their extracurricular activity.

Come back anytime ladies!
