Katy Rice Harvest Festival and Dewberry Farm

We are finally getting out and enjoying Texas!! The weather has been very pleasant (still 80's, but not as much humidity) which makes staying outside for a long period of time bearable! Let me hit you with a little knowledge about Katy before you move on to the pics...Katy actually harvests rice (I know, right?) and because of this, they have an annual Rice Harvest Festival where they close down the old town and set up a ton of booths (crafts etc.) along with greasy food and a carnival! Since we haven't gotten to go to the Eastern Idaho State Fair (holla!) over the past few years, we thought that this was going to be as good as we were going to get! I probably would've spent a ton of money if I had a baby girl (all of the clothing booths were geared toward girls TOTALLY CUTE)...we bought a fun iron Texas star that had Ad's latest Alma Mater on it (Rice Owls) and something else (but it is a surprise for my momma's bday!) Soooo there isn't a lot of pics from this event as you will see, it was still fun though...people watching is so much fun!


Hitching a ride on the festival shuttle!


Adam was sitting behind us...Caleb is telling him Hi here!


Always a blankie boy...loves his "juice" too...you know it's not all juice right?!? Whose got two thumbs and is pretty sneaky...


I just like this picture...


Looks good right?!? I can practically taste the grease just by looking at this picture!!!

We also took Caleb to a cute little farm called Dewberry Farm to get some pumkins. I don't even know how to explain this place other than it is CRAZY! There is so much going on here it is hard to choose what to do! Plus, it was super busy...but we had a good time! Can I just say how IMPOSSIBLE it is to get my kiddo to look at the camera! I loved how all the other families had their kiddos dressed up in their fall attire and they were all so happily posing around the pumpkins...maybe putting Caleb in a Star Wars T-shirt wasn't the best idea...the force was too strong and pulling his attention elsewhere (i'm such a geek!)


We went here!!!


Rubber Duckie races...where's the duckie you ask? Being pumped with water down a PVC pipe cut in half! Caleb was trying to steal other rubber duckies that were being raced by other kiddos/adults...we got a few dirty looks!


Some smelly pigs...need i say more?


Our wagon ride to the pumpkin patch...just a few cute shots of our boy!


LOVE those droopy eyes!




A view of the pumpkin patch from the wagon...


Caleb...look at the camera!!


Caleb...PLEASE look at the camera?!?


Caleb...you look so cute holding that baby pumpkin...we'll buy it for you if you look at the camera!


Oh my goodness...a father/son pic...Caleb, look at the camera!
Adam, thanks for smiling for you and your son!
P.S. we bought the pumpkin...


i told you the force was strong with this one!! (Adam is so proud of me right now!)


Caleb leading us through the corn maze literally!


You know how we Colson's love those moon shots...with the corn it just seems like fall! Even though it really is supposed to be fall in Texas...it doesn't feel like it yet...more mid December! The moon is that white dot in the sky...just in case you were wondering where it is!


AWWW look Caleb...Mom knows how to look at the camera!


And we're still lost in the maze!
