Dewberry Fun!

This was our 3rd trip to Dewberry Farm, and each year it is a wonderful time! Cory was in San Antonio at drag races, but the girls and I met up with the Griffins there. The only thing that I was so excited about was that our short-lived cool front was already gone, and it was in the upper 80's. I was really hoping to get some pictures at a pumpkin patch with at least long sleeves, but no such luck!

We got there right when it opened, and apparently that was everyone else's plan, too! There were a ton of people in the parking lot, and I knew it was going to be pretty busy. Fortunately, there were tons of things to do, so we never really had to wait in any lines! We waited for the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch for just a few minutes, and every thing else was just ready and waiting for us. Every mom goes to a pumpkin patch in hopes of getting a super cute fall picture, and most years I succeed. This year was not so successful! Every time I pulled the camera out, Kacy would literally look the other way or run away. It was impossible! Luckily, Sonja snapped a few cute ones :) When it comes down to it, though the pictures are the most important part by any means - they are just an added bonus (one that I didn't get this year)! :) When we were out with the pumpkins trying to get that great pic, Adilyn kept "falling off" them, and Kacy kept trying to roll them around. I gave up pretty quickly! We rode the hayride back to the main area, and we looked at the geese, watched the pig races, looked at the baby chicks, played in the haystack, and rode on the rope swings. Carl and Sonja had to leave to get home for naps and a birthday party, so the girls and I hung out for a little while longer. We played in the hay some more and went back to the playground where we started. The only time I got a little frustrated was when we were trying to leave. I was hot, sweaty, and starving, and all Adilyn wanted to do was pick weed flowers. I let her pick some, then she dropped them all and had to re-pick...I was so done. Luckily, the car wasn't too far away, so once she finally got a couple more flowers, she was okay to go.

I am so glad Sonja, Carl, and the boys came with us. It's always more fun with friends! Kacy loves Luke so much. She absolutely loves holding his hand and "helping" him...poor Luke doesn't love it so much. Kacy finally realized this trip that Isaac was ready and willing to hold her hand any time Luke wasn't in the mood, so she found a new buddy!
