The Most Fun Day

After Mike had taken Damon on a long early morning bike ride, and to hit balls at the driving range, we went up to Rockville to meet up with Mike's cousin Heather, her little boy Gavin, Mike's aunt Tamara, our good friends Richard and Dana, and their daughter Sienna. We all went to this awesome Fall Festival at this big Farm. They had little stations for the kids to do all kind of little farming chores. It was so cute. They ground up corn, fed the chickens, painted the fence, cleaned the rugs, dug potatoes, and sawed the logs. They also just got to dig around w/ farming tools, pet goats, go on hay rides, go through a corn maze, and do other fun stuff. We had so much fun with our awesome family and friends!

I know this is a weird picture, but Damon and Sienna kept hiding in the corn and jumping out to scare us. I personally think this picture is great


Beautiful Heather and her sweet boy Gavin

sorry to my friends who are asking about this fun little festival. It was only held last weekend. here's a little website i found with pictures of the farm. I'm assuming it's held every year.

What a great experience for the kids. Our garden is all done. Dad dug all the rest of the potatoes and picked most of the grapes. Next project is raking the leaves and tilling them into the garden. Fun fun. Love you guys!!

Looks like you guys had a great time. What a fun place to visit, I bet Damon had so much fun, oh yeah and Brixton was probably just glad to be outside all day right? He is such a great baby that he seems like he is happy everywhere-- even at a mcd's play area;)
