October 17th we went to the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm. This means we actually left Williamson/Travis county for something other than going to an airport! After an hour drive to Elgin we finally made it out to the farm. I thought the terrain was going to be too hard to push a stroller through so we just carried Henry and the diaperbag. Turned out that most people used their strollers, but we weren't heading back to the car and Henry likes being in the sling. While we were there we got to see some puppies, ducks, goats, and a llama. He was just waking up from his nap in the car so he wasn't very interested in the animals. Then we went to see the pumpkins. He played in the pumpkins a bit, hitting them and (eww) licking them and we got a few cute photos. 
Later we tried out the swing set. This was the first time we had put him on a swing and he wasn't quite sure what we were doing to him. He had a worried look on his face most of the time but had a good time.
Next we went on a hayride. Even though it was a bit loud Henry loved the tractor that pulled us, watching the driver and the wheels the whole time. Anytime we were walking around the farm and the tractor went by he would watch it. Our last activity on the farm was to walk through the corn maze. Mostly we went in circles and dodged young kids running through it until we got back out, but Henry liked it. On our way back home we stopped at Meyer's and tried some of the famous Elgin sausage and other bbq we had heard so much about. Overall, great bbq but the sauce was only okay.
