Sweet Berry Farm

It has been hardwired into my psyche that every fall pumpkin patches should be visited for fun harvest pictures and for hand-selecting the best pumpkins for Jack-0-lantern carving before Halloween. However, considering that our girls are quite young AND that we were too busy/tired prior to the holiday; we improvised a little and we beat the crowd this year... Thanks to our local grocer for the pumpkin and our great friend Dani for sharing the push-pin jack-0-lantern face parts, Savannah was able to do a "Mr. Potato Head" style pumpkin this year. It was a great, no mess and fun way to decorate a pumpkin with an eighteen-month old! We did get a cute "harvest" picture taken as a family at our church holiday party. The irony is that the pic is so zoomed in that you can't tell we were sitting on bales of hay and next to an adorable scarecrow scene... Okay back on point, so I mentioned that we beat the crowd...who would've thought that farms with pumpkin patches extend the holiday, therefore we were able to make a trip to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls, Texas on Sunday afternoon. It's always fun to go to new places and watch Savannah take in the world around her. We enjoyed walking through the kid corn maze, taking a hay ride, watching the farm animals, going on a pony ride, and of course capturing as many moments on camera as possible. It was a gorgeous day (hence the overexposed bright pics) and we all had a great time together as a family. We're looking forward to next spring when we'll be heading back to the farm for berry season where we can pick our own strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Yum.
