Punkin pickin'

Today we took Wade to Sweetberry Farms in Marble Falls. It was pretty cool, with all sorts of pumpkins, gourds and squash just laying around. They had lots of stuff to do- hay and pony rides, a corn maze and pumpkin painting. I think there were even more things to do across the street. We didn't do any of that, because Wade was so taken by all the pumpkins laying around in piles that we just let him run and play and climb on them.

There were lots of little areas to take pictures, which was nice because there were a million people trying to pose their kids and snap pictures :)

He finally picked out a Wade-size pumpkin (with a little coaxing- he wanted all the big ones) and proceeded to carry it around until his little arms gave out!

We also visited the goats, which he loved! He just loves animals and goes right up to them, puts his hand out (palm up) and lets them meet him. He laughs and laughs when they "kiss" him! He's really good about not attacking them and not sticking his fingers out- I'm always so afraid he's going to get bitten, but it hasn't happened yet.

On the way home (it's about an hour ride), we stopped and got BBQ at a little place called Peetes. It was WONDERFUL, Wade had brisket, ribs, beans, potato salad (wouldn't touch the green beans, of course) and the ice cream off our cobbler. Then on the way home he wanted crackers and "chunky-" granola. I don't know where he puts it all, but is constantly starving lately. I would assume he's growing. Again.
