On November 13th, we went with our friends, Jenn, Jarod and Camille, to Dewberry Farm in Brookshire. This is a really neat place! They have lots of family and kid-friendly activities and depending on the time of year, they have a pumpkin patch and a Christmas tree farm. We went kinda in between the pumpkin season and tree season. I actually bought a Groupon for this back in September so we got in for half price, which was nice...especially since Caleb is still a little too small to fully enjoy all the activities.
Caleb and daddy fed the goats. Believe it or not, they actually do not have cows (of all things!) at this FARM - kinda odd, huh?! Caleb was expecting cows, but we could not deliver. Luckily, he didn't ask about them for too long.

checking out the baby chickens...or are these ducks? apparently I don't know my farm fowl...
Funny story about this. This is Caleb waiting for the pig races, which we thought the kids would enjoy. We got there about 5 minutes before the starting time so we could get right by the fence. Well, at the start time, they did not actually start the races. They played this story over an extremely loud speaker that we happened to be standing right next to. The story was about a pig on a farm doing some stuff....can't remember exactly.....and it went on for at least 5 minutes. We all thought it would eventually pertain to the pig racing and then somehow tie into the race we were about to watch....but it didn't. After 5 minutes or so, they abruptly ended the story (before it was finished) and the announcer of the pig races shares over the loud speaker that if you want to hear how the story ends, that you can visit the Dewberry Farm gift shop to purchase a CD of it for only $5! Seriously?! It was both funny and irritating that they wasted our time (while the kids were beginning to melt down) to try and sell a not-so-interesting CD of "Tales from Dewberry Farm." Needless to say, we did not rush to the gift store to buy it! You could literally hear kids crying and fussing as we were standing there because they really wasted a lot of time when they could have just started the races and then let people go on their way. And then the races happened so fast that I'm not sure Caleb and Camille even knew what had happened. The pigs did have some cute names, though - one I remember is "Kevin Bacon" - ha!

This was probably Caleb's favorite activity....a slide made of PVC pipe.
This was a "cow train" pulled by a tractor. Caleb had a bit of a melt down right before this and didn't want to ride, but once we got going, he loved it.
This was Aubrey's first time in the Baby Bjorn and she did great! (it was so windy)
We took a ride in a wagon thing (don't know the name, exactly) pulled by a tractor and Aubrey fell asleep sucking her thumb - ha! Isn't she precious?!
This was the remnants of the pumpkin patch. Most of them were rotten. Aubrey was still asleep here but it didn't last too long because it was so windy.
The driver let Caleb sit on the tractor when we stopped at the pumpkin patch and he loved it!
The girl in the pink pants in the wagon kept yelling things like "hey, you can't drive the tractor!" - LOL

We had a fun day and look forward to going back!
