Today we ventured out to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls, TX as we have done in the past. It's such a neat place to go to pick pumpkins and much more, like go through a Texas shaped corn maze, feed goats, ride horses and ponies, paint pumpkins, stuff scarecrows, eat home-made ice cream, go on a tractor ride, have a picnic lunch, and just have fun taking family pictures! Not to mention the breathtaking scenic drive there through the hilly countryside...and today was a beautiful day for it! There's almost too much stuff to do for one day!
I was amazed at how many people have learned of this fun place because every year it gets more and more crowded! We also have fun going in the Spring and Summer to pick strawberries and blackberries.
Here are a few pictures from our adventure today!:)
Christopher talking to a goat :)-
The kids climbing on the "Ugly Wart" pumpkins (Katherine called them the Old Fat pumpkins because they looked like an older person:-)
Matthew stopping for a moment to rest and actually smiling for the camera:)-
Katherine resting on some apple gourds (I think that's what they're called)-
Katherine showing me how strong she was to carry this huge Wart Gourd-
Stopping to eat some home-made Strawberry and Pumpkin ice cream (yummy!)-
Katherine took this picture of us...:) (And no I'm not pregnant! It's a new shirt:)-
The kids getting ready to run through the Kid Maze, all by themselves-
Climbing on pumpkins is so much fun!!-
Daniel helping Matt paint his pumpkin, although he wanted to do it "all by myself" :)-
"See, I can do it all by MYSELF!"-
Katherine's proudly shows us her detailed pumpkin artwork (have I ever mentioned that she's a perfectionist?)-
Family Picture (it's hard to get everyone to look and smile at the same time!)-
Christopher loving these "balls"!! He was in heaven! (He LOVES any and all kinds of balls)-
Matthew having fun posing like a cowboy-
Katherine had fun because she could actually reach her hands to fit through the arm slots too-
I told Matthew that it looked like he was driving Grandpa's boat and that was the way I got a smile out of him:)-
What a fun day!!
