4th Annual Father - Son Weekend at the Farm

The Dads try out the Old School earthen oven for some artisan pies
For the past four Memorial Day weekends the Benner's have hosted the boys' schoolmates/neighborhood friends (Mt Airy - Philly) and their dads for an action packed weekend at the farm.  It's always hectic, but it's always fun!  This year we may have outdone ourselves as you will see from the photos below - this and much more all took place in less than 48 hours!
