Hatch-a-kiwi

As I mentioned before, my old roommate Carrie is currently living in New Zealand, so when she came to visit she brought us a few NZ goodies!

One of the things she brought was an egg that we could put in water and "hatch" our own kiwi bird! It was quite the object of excitement in our house for a few days! Noah loved getting to check on its progress every day, even though it took much longer than the box stated for the bird to actually hatch. 

The kiwi was a little creepy looking as it started hatching! There were a few people that were convinced it was going to finish hatching in the middle of the night and run around the house ;-)

Thanks for the entertainment, Carrie!!!
