Gary's Berries

Sunday afternoon our church hosted our annual fall festival. A church family owns Garry's Berries and lets us take it over for free, eat dinner for a cheap donation, and do all the attractions they have. It was a great night of fall fun for the Fluke's.

First stop was the corn pit... it was a nice sized square that was filled with nothing but corn. Mia wasn't sure what to do in it.

We moved on to this huge bouncy pillow type thing. It was huge. You climb up on it and bounce your heart out. All the girls loved doing this. Mia finally climbed up to the top and bounced her way down. It was pretty tough getting the kids off of this.

They also had a big tire/sand/dirt/climbing thing... sorry I don't know what the real term for it is. We all were a dirty mess after this stop.

Dustin and Gaby walked across the tires... their surfing pose!

(a little out of order) We finished up looking at pumpkins and having snack. The girls and I waited for Dustin as he brought the van up to use. We had some worn out kids (and we still had to get Kenni from Grandma Dee's).

GB's has a huge corn maze. This was our first time going as a family and only my second time. We started out with another family from our small group. As the kids got more tired and it got darker, we had to push to get out of there. We turned and lost our friends but made it out fairly shorty after. Which was good because Gaby was starting to melt down because we were still in the maze and it was pretty dark at this point. Here is our "we made it" picture- Gaby was not so happy!

Never to old for a piggy back ride... walking around GB's. We had a wonderful fall day.
Seeing how tall the girls were... always a fun tradition!

We also went on a tracker ride. It went all around the GB's farm and pumpkin patch. We didn't get pumpkins this time, but certainly enjoyed our ride. We even ran into some friends from school. The girls were excited to sit with their friends.


We had a great night! If you haven't been to Garry's Berries- I highly recommend taking a ride out there. Check the website, I know you can get coupons for admission.
