Family Day at B&W

July 31
B&W's Family Picnic was held at the Oakridge Estate. It was awesome! The weather was cooler which made the evening more enjoyable. The kids enjoyed the games, face painting, free unlimited cotton candy and ice cream, as well as a fun carriage ride. I enjoyed the grounds and walking around the estate's gardens. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the sign up sheets early enough and missed the tour of the mansion but walking around the grounds was fun.
The Estate once belongs to Thomas Fortune Ryan and is located on 4,800 acres of land. Can you imagine owning that much land, it is crazy! They have their own race horse track and at one point Mr. Ryan had his own golf course right out side is home. It is a beautiful piece of property.



What a goof ball!
