No Butler's Orchard this year, so we had to find a replacement. Ed took the day off Tuesday, so we went to Marble Falls Farm about an hour outside of Austin to enjoy a day filled with hayrides, pumpkin picking, candy corn mazes, and barrel trains. It seems weird that it was Dean's first Halloween experience -- I feel like he was around this time last year, but not quite. The kids took a long hay ride through a forest of scarecrows and cacti which made us do a double take. Really? Even on a farm? We must be in Texas.
Morgan and I got turned around in the kiddie corn maze for 20 minutes but finally made it to the end where we rang the bell. (Mostly because I let Morgan take the lead. Well, that's my excuse, but I will admit it was pretty disorienting in there)! Dean and Morgan got a ride on the barrel train (which was Morgan's favorite part of the day but I thought it was a pretty bumpy ride). Since it was a Tuesday, the lines were non-existent. The farm had hay stacks decorated as pigs which was the perfect photo op for our own little piggy, Dean, which speaking of, will be his Halloween costume. He's fat, he's messy, he squeals when he doesn't get his way and he eats anything that crosses his path. It's a perfect match!
