Sweet Berry Farm Strawberry Picking

Grandmaman, I finally found my camera. I took Boogs and his cousin, Little J, to Sweet Berry Farm to pick strawberries during Spring Break. Unfortunately, the berries were pretty picked over by the time we went. The boys still had fun, they just did not have very many strawberries to bring home.

You know I can't have a strawberry picking post without a flashback picture. We have made it to Sweet Berry Farm every year to pick strawberries since Boogs was two-years-old.
                                         

They added a new thing this year, it was like a bouncy house in the middle of the field. Boogs and Little J LOVED it!

After all that bouncing, we had to have homemade strawberry popsicles before we left the farm.

We went from the farm to the library for a Mad Science show. Boogs went up on stage to take a ride on a "hover craft" made out of plywood, plastic sheeting, and a leaf blower.

Sweet Berry Farm Pumpkin Patch

Every year, we take Boogs to Sweet Berry Farm to pick out our Halloween pumpkin. Here is a  little flashback to his first trip to the Sweet Berry pumpkin patch:

 I cannot believe how quickly he is growing up. This picture seems just like yesterday.

Boogs quickly decided that THIS was the perfect pumpkin.

We all tried to guess the weight of the pumpkin. Daddy had the closest guess. The pumpkin weighed 16 pounds.

We had a quick (non-bento) picnic lunch before getting started with activities.

Boogs is pointing the way to the Texas Cornfield Maze.

The cornfield maze is in the shape of the state of Texas. You have to find 12 Texas cities and get a punch for each city to complete the maze.

Wahoo! We completed the maze in record time this year.

Boogs is now tall enough to reach without help.

The Marble Falls Fire Dept was there to let kids see their firetrucks and gear.

Boogs really liked getting dressed in all of the gear.

He almost fell over while trying to walk in those big boots.

 Halloween and Christmas are tied for Boogs' favorite holiday. I think our yearly tradition of going to Sweet Berry Farm makes Halloween extra special for him. Now, he just has to decide how he wants to help Daddy carve the pumpkin.
