oxon

This is a spot that we'd been meaning to check out since hearing about it a while ago.  We arrived to Oxon Hill Farm tucked away off a busy road and the parking lot was empty.  Aiden then declared that it must be boring, but oh boy was he wrong.  This was a pretty cool national park spot which had airplanes and helicopters frequently overhead. We arrived as they were getting ready to milk the cows in the dairy barn.  The park ranger said that Aiden was going to try to take his job once he got the hang of milking Minnie the cow.  Keaton took his turn milking the calm cow with a huge smile on his face.  Outside the dairy barn Aiden found giant leaves with fuzzy backs that he wanted to bring for show and tell.  Then we trotted back up to the kid's corner in the visitor's center for some coloring and playing with farm toys while we waited to feed the farm animals.  We started out inside the chicken coop where the chickens were excited to see us sprinkle some corn around for them.  The ranger was trying to teach the kids the difference between roosters and hens.  When she asked which one was a boy KC jumped up and said "Me!" Then the kids collected eggs from the coop to take over to feed the pigs.  A bunch of kids and park ranger yelping swoooweee and throwing eggs into a pig pen is amusing.  Then the kids tried their best underhand toss to get corn to the yelpy goose and ducks.   Farmers Aiden and Keaton were feeling pretty tuckered out.
