We spent Saturday afternoon at a local honey farm with some friends enjoying a gorgeous fall day and a fun fall festival. The honey farm is over 100 years old, so they have some lovely honey and obviously a nice crop of bees. (Can that even be true? A crop of bees? I may have just made that up...)
Anyways, at the festival we sampled various kinds of honey and other things made with honey - honey butter, honey mustard sauce, bbq sauce with honey, honey ice cream, etc., went on a tour of their facilities and took a hay ride. It's amazing how different honey from different plants -- wildflower vs. clover for example, can taste so different. Between the three of us we bought a gallon of honey to split, which I think will last us for awhile.
We all have boys who are all fairly close in age -- 16 months, 11 months and 2 months old. They had corresponding levels of fun at the festival, but I'm sure by next year they will think it is a little more fun. Liam's favorite part was probably tasting mama's chocolate honey milkshake. Of course, anything with food is his favorite part!
Liam was styling in his news boy cap. That stayed on about 2 seconds.
