Today we ventured over to Marble Falls, TX to visit the pumpkin patch at Sweet Berry Farm. It's about a 50 minutes from our house, but well worth it! The drive there is just awesome and the scenery is breathtaking. There are steep hills, canyons, rivers, and wildlife preserves that make the drive seem like only 15 minutes. When we pulled in the parking lot, we noticed that everyone had the same idea that we did...to come today! Not only was the weather absolutely perfect, but it just seemed like a great day for a family outing, and I guess others thought so too. Regardless, we had a great time! At Sweet Berry Farm, they have a huge Texas-shaped maze there made out of corn fields. The object of the maze is to find 12 cities throughout the maze and if you do, you get a free drink when you come out. Daniel is great with maps and navigation and we managed to find all 12 cities in about 45 minutes. It was fun!

Also at Sweet Berry Farm, they have pumpkins ranging from tiny gourds to HUGE 80 pound pumpkins. No kidding. Some of these pumpkins must have had a dose of miracle grow every day because they were HUGE! Also, there was scarecrow stuffing, hay rides, a petting zoo, pumpkin painting, homemade icecream, and more! Christopher got his first taste of homemade pumpkin icecream and I think he liked it!:)
It was a great day to be outside and to spend with the family. The only downer was coming home and watching the Aggies get beat to the Texas Tech raiders. Ugh...so maybe it's time for a new coach?
