One thing I have always wanted to do with the kids is take them to a strawberry field and pick strawberries with them. I did it a long time ago with Aaron while we were visiting his grandparents in Minnesota many, many years ago and I remember how much fun it was. Today I was able to check that off my bucket list because I was able to convince Aaron to drive us to Marble Falls and take us to Sweet Berry Farm, where we were able to do just that!
We got there about an hour and a half before they closed. They gave us a basket and we went to town picking strawberries in the patch they directed us to. Olivia was in charge of holding the basket and Connor and Aaron picked the strawberries. We may have sampled a strawberry or two, with permission from the owners of course.
When we were finished picking all our strawberries, we paid for them and bought a cup of ice cream for us to share while Connor jumped on the bounce pad. It was so good!
The property had goats and horses too, so we went to see them for a few minutes before they closed. The goats had an awesome tree house with a bridge that connected two areas for them. I couldn't believe that they would cross it because it was a single piece of wood, but I witnessed it!
When we were about to leave, Connor and Aaron were grabbing a strawberry to feed the horses, and Connor slipped in the mud. He was so upset! Aaron had to rinse him off with a hose before he got in the car. Thankfully by that time he had time to cool down and was back to smiling.
I think we are going to make this a new sprint time tradition!
XOXO,
Jenn
