Halloween at Sweet Berry Farm

After several days of rainy, chilly, gray weather~ God provided a glorious fall day here for Halloween. The sky was deep blue without a single cloud, full sun & in the low 70s. So, we drove out northwest of Austin to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls, Texas. The farm's primary crops are berries, hence the name, but they also host a Fall Festival.

We walked by a field of flowers (zinnias).


We walked past their famous Texas- shaped Corn Maze.
Definitely not enough time or energy to explore it this year.

They, of course, had boatloads of pumpkins. (hehe)
And truckfuls...

We went on a hayride.

Manuel took a ride on their barrel train called the "Sweet Berry Express."
We were refreshed by their incredible strawberry lemonade (made from their own strawberries) and the best homemade pumpkin spice ice cream ever. Thank you God for the opportunity to celebrate the season of Autumn together as a family! Happy Halloween!
