Chickens!

 We just finished a weekend of Kyle' last hurrah of FFA.  He raised chickens this year and we really didn't expect too much.  In fact, Kyle said he would be happy if he finished in the top 20.

He got sorted into the "front" row, which we didn't know if that meant he was first or last (I was kinda thinking he was last since he didn't seem too confident about his chances.)

But then the judge spent a whole lot of time in the front row, so we started feeling much better about his position. 

And he wound up placing 7th, which we were all shocked about!

And just to make this about me for a second, here's Daddy and me one of the years I showed chickens. I'm pretty sure I'm in 6th grade here.

I'm not sure why we doubted Kyle's chicken raising skills, he's certainly had the experience...

And he got $2,500 for them at the auction, which was another nice surprise!
