Sweet Berry Farm & Coloring Eggs

We had such a fun Easter Weekend. Grancie came in to celebrate, the weather was wonderful, so we decided to soak in the fun! Saturday morning we headed to Marble Falls to pick strawberries at Sweet Berry Farms. Along the way, we stopped at the famous Bluebonnet Cafe for lunch. Of course the line was out the door- but luckily it moved fairly quickly. And wow, it was def worth the wait, the food was awesome!!!
We then headed to the farm. This was the same place we went in the fall to see pumpkins, but it looked totally different with rows and rows of strawberries. They give you a box and off you go- you pay by the pound for as many strawberries as you pick. Crew had so much fun- he wanted to pick them ALL- so we had to regulate and make sure he was only picking the ripe ones- ha! But, fresh strawberries are amazing! They really do taste different than the ones in the stores, they are so much juicier! The farm also sells homemade treats made from the berries. We enjoyed fresh strawberry ice cream and an ice cream smoothie- yum yum!!!

Crew also enjoyed some of the other activities at the farm including jumping on the "bubbles", riding the barrel train, and his favorite- feeding the goats. What a great trip it was! We are already looking forward to heading out there again next month when the blackberries are in season to pick some of those!

That night Crew dyed his Easter eggs and we were all ready for a big Easter Sunday!


Yum Yum!=)

This is how the strawberries grow.
The good ones seemed to be hiding under the leaves.

Like father like son.

It was so nice it wasn't even crowded, Crew didn't wait to in line for any activities.

As good of pic as we could get with a tired boy!
