Pumpkins in Texas

A couple weeks ago we went to Texas to visit Dan's family (I gave a small recap here) and it is always SUCH a treat to spend time with them.   For starters, it's almost always warm so we spend time at their pool... definitely a luxury in October now that we live in upstate NY.  But they know the best restaurants in Texas, so we had the most amazing BBQ and Mexican.  We all agreed that we were a couple pounds heavier after those couple days... but it was so so worth it.  Since Dan's parents know me way too well, they found this amazing pumpkin patch to take us to- and seriously it was the most amazing place I have ever seen.  I didn't know you could do so many things with pumpkins. And as always, we took tons and tons of pictures. Which means there will be a part one and part two of this trip. So here's part one :)

Oh, and compare these pool pics below with these from a year ago that we took the last time we were in Texas! Jake was so teeny!

Who wouldn't want to eat lunch here?

The sign for "all done" has turned into "all gone" .. since he threw an acorn in the river and it was all gone :)

Yes that is a house made of pumpkins behind them.  I told you this place was incredible!

Jake was a little upset because we made him get out of the pool.  His teeth were chattering and his lips were purple.. so it was time.. but he did not want to get out!

Jake thought it was so funny to try to "drink" the water lol
