Spring Break Mini Vacay - Day 3

Today we got up, packed our stuff and headed to our final activity.  We headed to Pioneer Farms just a little outside of Austin.  Today was Spring Break family day, so we got in for $3 each. :) They had 5 little settlements from different times (I can't remember the exact years) - like a German immigrant settlement, a Texian farm, etc.

This tree was in front of one of the houses and I thought it was just beautiful!  I love spring!

The boys watching the blacksmith work...

We walked up on a HUGE tree called the lightening tree  Enlarge the picture below and you can read about it - pretty cool!


The boys in a tee pee....

Taking a break in the outhouse. :)

One of the houses that was from early German immigrants settlers...

Hudson said "Mom, take a picture of this!"  So I did. :)

Checking out the longhorns.. he would get any closer than this. :)

My three boys - I love them so!

Souvenir swords!  I'm sure that if you asked them what their favorite part of today was, this would be it.

 After a quick lunch, we headed home.  What is a road trip with a DQ stop?

We had a really fun mini-trip.  Fun family time and lots of memories made.  I asked what the favorite part of the trip was and Reed and I said the caverns, Brian said Pioneer Farms and Hudson said mini-golf. :)  This is our last "stay up late" night until school starts on Monday, so I think we have a fun night ahead of the Wii, pizza and various other end of vacation fun. :)
