Our Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Last Friday, we ditched our school work for a little field trip to the pumpkin patch! The fact that we could go on a Friday when most kids are in school and the farm was less crowded was perfection. The only problem was that DJ had to miss out on our trip :( 

But, we made it a girls day and made the best of it. 

Each year that we've lived in Austin, we've visited a different pumpkin patch. But, I think we finally found "the one." It was a bit of a drive, but Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls, Tx was so fun. 

The girls were able to bounce all by themselves and had the best time racing each other back and forth. 

They were living their best lives. 

The pumpkin patch set up lots and lots of picture cut outs all around the farm and the girls took advantage. 

We headed to the kids corn maze and with Gretchen as our guide, we easily found the back of the maze and rang the bell. 

Gretchen heard somewhere to always stay to the left, so that's what we did! 

Addy was so excited to pick out pumpkins but I told her she had to wait until the very end. 

More fun picture cut outs. 

I mean, they could've sat a little closer and pretended like they liked each other. 

Just three girls and their momma. 

We brought a picnic lunch and played with goats. 

The goats were so fun- and so hungry! 

The girls had a little pony ride. 

And made sand art. 

Lots and lots of pictures were taken! 

The farm was divided in to two sections, so after finishing up in one area, we made our way across the street for a hayride and flower picking. 

The little girls rode a train while big sis and I waited. 

Then we hopped on the hay ride! 

There were lots and lots of scarecrow displays throughout the hayride. 

Before we picked flowers, there was yet, another picture spot. I asked Gretchen if she wanted in and she did not- ha! 

The flowers were gorgeous and we easily picked a bunch within a few minutes! 

That view! 

We finally made our way back over, and the girls picked out their pumpkins- they were huge!!! 

This was the first year that all of the girls were able to really handle their pumpkins themselves. I let Gretchen take a wheelbarrow and the girls did all the work! 

They even loaded them in to the car! 

Now that we have our pumpkins, our front porch is finally complete and we'll carve them sometime this week!
