5K Run for the Ribs

 We did a family run at the Q BBQ fest at Empower field. The reward at the end was delicious. We got to have all-you-can-eat ribs made by BBQ rib makers all over Colorado and Texas.

The Bikescreamator

 Dan has always had this idea that we should make our own bike-powered ice-cream maker. So we got some parts: one bike stand (garage sale), one manual powered ice-cream maker (outer bucket for ice, inner canister with paddle for ice-cream and a churning mechanism on top), some rock salt, a conveyor belt, one large pulley and one small pulley.

New chicks

We got some new chicks at Wardles on April 15, to replace the ones the raccoon got over thanksgiving. Meet Crackers (brown) and Mellow (yellow) 


Not totally sure if Juna wants to play with them...

...or eat them. Maybe a bit of both.
