Wurstfest and Lost Maples

On Saturday we went to New Braunfels Wurstfest Festival. It is a celebration of everything German ranging from food to music. There were also some rides for the kids to enjoy. Of course, the merry-go- round and the ferris wheel just don't seem all that trilling enough for my dare devil that he requested to go on the roller coaster. Thankfully, it was a kiddie roller coaster but I don't think that mattered to him. Adult or child ride, he was going on. Besides the rides we enjoyed all the good food and listened to the music. They had 3 different halls playing music so we got to see and hear pretty much everything.
The next day we drove out to Lost Maples State Park. I had read that the farm roads leading up to park and the park itself had some really great scenery, especially in first part of November due to the leaves changing color. I must say the scenery was absolutely gorgeous with the trees changing to orange and red and the little ponds that were around. Eric and I are always on lookout for the place that we want to retire on and this place is high on my list but the price for this area seems to be nowhere on my list! Oh well. We did have fun walking on the trails and seeing all the pretty colors the area had to offer.
