Another Tour of the Virgina Countryside

Mandy invited us to another great group outing to the Virginia country side. The first stop was a cattle farm at the foot of the mountains:

 After a hayride the owner of the farm invited everyone to his home for some great burgers. Mia had the hot dogs and made friends with one of the dogs

The next stop was a farm with pigs, chicken, ponies and horses - and some dogs that were running around and had fun with all the kids visiting

 The children were allowed to brush a pony

 The parents were just watching

Mia could even lead the pony back to his stable

Then the children heard a lot about horses and saw a little demonstration of trotting and galopping

 Then they were allowed to ride. Mia was the first one to go 

 T
he children that were finished collected acorns for the pigs and played with the farm dogs and cats

Then it was time to feed the pigs with all the acorns

On the way back we stopped for coffee and cake in a small village with Kristina and her children and Mia had fun with Luca and Lousia
