One day while we were in Maryland, we took the kids out to the Homestead Farm. We drove for a little while until we got to an old country road, the type that is wide enough for two lanes but is only paved along the center track. We wanted to have something of a harvest experience, so the kids could see where their apples, pumpkins, and the like come from. It was a little drizzly when we first got there but the kids didn't mind.
After posing with the pumpkins we found the big pile of hay that was a hit with everyone.
After throwing it around a bit and jumping off the pile several times, Sabrina proceeded to bury herself in the hay.
Celia followed suit.
Then they all very graciously helped Juliet bury herself in the hay to make sure she didn't feel left out.
Afterwards we took a walk through the apple orchards. The kids wished they could eat the apples right off the trees, though they were a little put off by the vinegary smell of all the fallen apples.
As usual we had to take pictures in the cutouts.
They also had large, elevated pathways for the goats to walk from one pen to another. We enjoyed watching them walk around as we ate lunch.
On the way back from the farm we stopped at the Washington, D.C. Temple and walked around the temple grounds.
One of their favorite things was the miniature temple inside the visitor's center.
