Great Country Fun

On Saturday, Mike and I decided that we need a day out with the kids, away from the house...so we drove out to the country, across the hills and streams of Loudoun County to Great Country Farms.

Of course everyone else had the same idea so it was PACKED. We had to wait 1 1/2 for pancakes but in spite of that we did end up having fun. We got to pick potatoes fresh out of the field and that night we had so many that I made some homemade mashed potatoes -- which were enjoyed by all. :)

Here are a few photos from the day......
