Schlagel Farms

I have been wanting to take Ian to a farm since the petting zoo at the National Zoo is his favorite. I wanted Ian to see the animals in their real habitat. So we wandered on down to Schlagel Farms which is about 45 minutes southwest of DC in Maryland. Their farm is totally geared toward children and Ian loved it! The tour starts out with playtime in a great big box of corn. Ian was a little apprehensive at first but soon dived right in. The hayride was the next big attraction followed by a maze and petting farm. Ian loved petting the animals and would still be there feeding the goats and pigs if I hadn't picked him up kicking and screaming and carried him to the car.
