The last Friday we were in the DC area I took the boys to a really fun farm. We seriously could have stayed for another 3 huors and we had already stayed for at least 4 hours. They had an awesome tractor that they could climb on and through the middle was a slide they could down.
What's better than driving a big tractor!
Digging in the corn kernels.
Having a duck race. There were a bunch of rubber/plastic ducks you could put in the tubes and pump water to send them down to the blue bucket.
They gave out ice cream sandwiches after your tour of the farm. Of course a favorite for me and the boys.
Little tractor driving.

These two boys loved the baby pigs. They were only 3 days old when we went for our visit. They were squealing like crazy and the boys would get so excited to touch them.
They had one barn that was full of all the baby animals and you could hold all of them. It was so much for the boys and for me to watch them get so excited about the freedom they had. They ran from animal to animal to make sure they could see all of them.
Say Cheese!
Visiting the turkeys.

More baby pig time.

We made a couple trips to the baby pigs because they were so cute. Did you know that when baby pigs are born they immediately find a place to eat and stay on that nipple until they are done feeding form their mom. That's probably why the last one is called the runt because it gets last choice for a good feeding spot.
The turtle! It was just roaming around the barn. It made Logan a little nervous, but Trevor walked right up to pet it.
After seeing Trevor pet the turtle, Logan was finally interested in petting it.
We took a fun little hay ride through the fields and woods behind the farm. Always a favorite for these two boys.
It was so hot that day if you can't tell by all of us sweating, but this was one of the most memorable activities with these two boys. They loved it and it was so great to let them run around on a huge farm. Maybe we should move to a farm....or just have a yard :).
