Our Visit To Hillview Farms

Our Visit To Giggleberry Fair
Peddler’s Village, PA May 2013 The kids and I were headed to Bucks County, PA, to run some errands. To make this routine trip more fun for them I like to pick a cool place to visit in that neighborhood. Some place that we haven’t been to before. This time I chose Giggleberry Fair on friend’s […]
