Round Hill Exhibit Farm

I have been wanting to go to Round Hill Park and Exhibit Farm for...well....a really long time.  We had some playdates planned several times, but each time it was rained out.  Round Hill Exhibit Farm is located in one of the lushest farm-iest parts of Pennsylvania.  First of all, the land is absolutely gorgeous.  Second of all, Round Hill is both a park and a "working exhibit farm."  This means that Round Hill Farm has animals and grows crops.  But they allow visitors to come mill about and look at their animals and in some of their barns (Yes, this is FREE).  Adjoining the farm is a super cool playground complete with spray park.  Perfect for a hot summer day.

Dylan loves all things animal. This was right up his alley.  *Note to self: next time bring bread to feed the ducks.

 The farm had several baby animals.  There were three calves.  


 and we got to pet them. 


 They also had a sow and some piglets.  
They had some goats, rabbits, and other animals that you would expect to see on a farm (including barn mice and a a barn cat). 
  
 And they had an enormous amish working horse.  This guy was so big. 
Dylan was beside himself with joy.  He exclaimed over each animal.  After we had explored the grounds and seen the corn cribs, silo, inside of the barns (which had an impressive milking stall for the cows), we walked across the street and played at the park.  This was totally worth the drive and we will definitely be doing this again sometime soon.
