Sweet berry Farms


Clarence had off this weekend - YAY! So,... we got to play as a family!
Saturday was pretty tied up with birthday parties & football - Texas, A&M :( , LSU :( ,....
So, Sunday we decided to have a SUPER FUN FAMILY DAY!
We headed to Marble Falls!


First we went and ate at the famous "Blue Bonnet Cafe"!
It was SO yummy & we even brought a pecan pie home!

Then,... it was off to Sweet Berry Farms!

One of the best things that we did was go inside a Texas shaped corn maze!
Here is a picture of the maze from a few years ago.



Crazy, RIGHT?
On our tickets we had 11 small towns in Texas. We had to go around the maze and find where the cities were. They DID have a map outside, so you could look at that for a reference.
It was crazy and fun,.... it only took us a little less than a hour!!
It was SOOOOOOOOO fun!
We are going to try to do it every year!



We had to jump on a hey ride to get to the maze:





We even had to walk in an "under-the-road-tunnel" to get to the maze.




Here are the kids - get mark, get set, go!!






We found our first town!
We were on a ROLL!!






Once we go back, we tried some of their homemade ice cream.
Lexi got Strawberry/Blackberry:




Cooper got pumpkin!!






Then, we go to feed some goats!





I am SHOCKED that Cooper did it!
YOU GO BOY!




We got to get up close & personal to some horses.



Then, we walked the grounds and got VERY picture happy!
We just couldn't help ourselves!!

Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog.
This place looks like so much fun! You'd better watch out with these two kiddos when they get older- Lexi is gorgeous and Cooper's gonna be a lady's man for sure!
