Blessington Farms

Todd was able to take the day off today so we took a family field trip to Blessington Farms in Katy, TX. The farm has lots of great activities and the kids enjoyed them all. We also picked berries! The farm grows strawberries, blueberries and blackberries and we love all three. Here is a sampling of our day.

Colton has been an excellent "smiler" in all of his recent photos. He was ready to pick some strawberries.

Holden really liked eating the blackberries right off the bush.

Hot, sweaty, but happy berry pickers. See Holden? He was reaching for more blackberries.

Looking for the best ones.

The farm had these great pedal cars that had room for the driver and a little passenger. Holden rode with me and with Hunter.

Carter said that Blessington Farms was one of the "funnest" things we have done. All that dirt on his shirt was from the slide. Carter purposely put extra dirt at the bottom of the slide so that he could go right through it on his way down.

Collins needed help with the pedal cars.

Bouncy horses.

Such a yummy harvest!

Holden and mom.

Collins rode on a pedal car with Todd.

Yep, Holden was still eating those blackberries.

The farm has 75,000 strawberry plants!

Ready to slide. Holden is probably thinking, "When can I get my hands on some of those blackberries?"

The boys practiced with a lasso as they tried to rope the steer heads.

Just a few more, please mom!

The blackberries looked like they were ready to burst!

New driver for Holden's ride.

At the end of our time at the farm it started to rain. Holden was a wet, happy, and berry-filled baby when we made it back to the car.
