Welcome to our "new blog." We have officially moved to Maryland and having more than one bathroom is truly as wonderful as we all imagined. We are also eager to get going on our list of "must sees" while we are living so close to our nations capital. Seth is working at the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda for 3-5 years so we have time to do it all. We love staying connected with family and friends through blogging so thanks for stopping by!

Butler’s Farm Spectacular!! (10-8-11)

We have lot of wet weather and it seems to always fall on the weekends. This past weekend we were blessed with the most beautiful fall day in the high 70’s!! To make the most of it we went to Butler’s Farm where they host a bunch of fall activities for families. Even though every other person in Montgomery County had the exact same idea, we still had a wonderful time!!

These were taken from the hay ride out to the “pumpkin patch. I’m still not used to Charlie’s toothless grin.

They had plenty of activities for the kids!

Will someone explain the difference between picking up a pumpkin that is placed in a “patch” versus  going to Safeway and picking it out of a pile?

The big boys went on the huge plastic burlap sack slides they had set up. Of course they all opted to stand in the long line for the fastest slide! Lucy and I happily watched from the side.

I purchased ice-cream cones for Seth and I while the boys where playing in the hay barn. Lucy ate almost all of Seth’s cone, I have never seen a child devour ice cream like that before! Like mother, like daughterSmile

The barn-of-hay! This was a pretty basic activity but by far the most entertaining, I think they were in there for over an hour. I wonder if we could fill our spare room with hay?
