Mommy + Lane Weekend

Lane and I were on our own on Saturday and Sunday, October 19-20.  This was the weekend Kyle was in New Orleans and my family only stayed in Austin Thursday through Saturday morning.  Saturday afternoon after they left, we decided to hit up the park.  The weather was really pretty and we had a good time!

 

The ice cream man drove right by the park, so Lane was able to have his first ice cream truck experience!

He chose a Ninja Turtle pop!
 

Mommy got a Pink Panther and promptly ate the ears.  :)

Remember the bubblegum eyes from when we were kids??  They still have them!

 

On Sunday we decided to venture out to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls.  I took Lane there last year and it was so much fun!  Last year we went on a Friday, and let me tell you....it was WAY less crowded than our Sunday trip this year!  We sat in a long line of cars for about 45 minutes just to park.  Then every activity had the LONGEST lines.  We didn't get to do all of the activities we wanted because they closed early on Sunday, but we still managed to have a good time.

First, we stopped by the face painting area.  The line was pretty short at the time, so we went ahead and got that out of the way.  Last year Lane got a cool dinosaur, and this year he opted for a tiger face!

The beginnings of a tiger...

Staying so still!  I think his little face looks so sweet here!

 

Almost done!

 

 

Check out that ferocious tiger!

My cute little tiger!

 

After face painting we headed to the Berry Bounce.  It is a giant air pressured pillow similar to a bounce house.

 

I was shocked that Lane wanted to ride a horse.  His last pony ride experience at the rodeo last March was a forced activity and he was not enthused.  This time he decided on his own he wanted to ride the big horse, and that he did!  Even after we had to wait in line for almost an hour! 

Waving to Mommy.  I wish his hand hadn't covered his face!

  

He was excited to ride this old broken down tractor on the way out.  Later, he said it was his favorite part!  Silly boy!

 

My little tiger was plumb out by the time we left the parking lot.  It was a special, fun weekend with my little buddy!

Sweetberry Farm

Last Friday Lane and I took a short road trip to Marble Falls to visit Sweetberry Farm.  One of my mom groups had planned a field trip there, so we got a discounted rate.  There were 25 of us total, so it was a fun day full of kiddos!  The field trip included a hay ride, feeding the goats, going through a corn maze, and painting pumpkins.  There were lots more activities that were extra cost, and we all scattered and did our own thing when the field trip was over.  

Feeding the goats

He would feed them and then immediately go over to this giant bottle of hand sanitizer and wash up. Then go feed them again, then sanitize...over and over!

In the corn maze.  This was Lane's least favorite part.  He wanted OUT of there!

Choosing a pumpkin

Painting his pumpkin

Our masterpieces!  Mine on the left and Lane's on the right.  Just kidding :)

Jumping on the "berry bounce."  It was a giant tarp blown up with air.  Kinda like a trampoline and a bounce house combined.

Getting his face painted for the first time!  I didn't think he would be brave enough to do it or sit still long enough, but he did!

He walked right up to the girl and asked "Can you make a dinosaur that says RAWRRR."  He requested blue with spikes on his back.

Being VERY still.  

The finishing touches...

WOW!!!  He loved it!

After the face painting we headed over to ride the barrel train.  Lane refused to ride by himself (even though all the other kids were) so I had to squeeze in there with him.  haha!

Some pics from my phone...

We had such a fun time!  It got a little warm...never too hot, but warmer than we expected.  It wasn't too crowded, and we never had to wait on any of the activities.  We will definitely go back in the spring for their strawberry picking!
