Farm Fun!


While Rob spent a second weekend in Boston for the Head of the Charles (go Colonials!), Gavin and I decided to have a play date with Auntie Jill. We headed to South Mountain Creamery in Maryland for their Harvest Festival and then did a hike (more like stroll) on Sugarloaf Mountain.

It was a great day filled with fresh air and fun activities. At the farm, Gavin got up close and personal with a goat, a couple of donkeys, and lots of baby calves. Far and away, Gavin's favorite animals at the farm were the turkeys, roosters, and chickens. We definitely added "cluck, cluck, cluck" to our vocabulary this weekend. We're working on "gobble, gobble" in time for Thanksgiving!

The other two big hits at the farm were a gentleman playing cool wood instruments and all the mini tractors and vehicles for the kids to ride on. Gavin chose an ATV, so we don't know what that says about his future view on wildlife conservation and preservation.

Enjoy the video below. I didn't get any pictures of the Gavin checking out the poultry because I was too busy trying to make sure that he didn't wrangle down a turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner.
