Picking Strawberries

Today Charlie and I spent the morning picking strawberries. We drove out with my friend Ashley to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls.


Once we got to the strawberries Charlie went crazy. He loved them. He quickly learned that he liked the red ones better than the green ones. He ate a ton and even more dirt! Within about two minutes he was COVERED in strawberry juice. He loved it though. He just ran down the rows and dug in the dirt. He tries to run now and starts to go to fast and falls down, its pretty funny.




Ashley and I ( mostly Ashley since I was trying to stop Charlie from ruining all the strawberries) filled up two boxes of strawberries. When we went to buy the strawberries the lady was joking with us and said," he's one of the ones we should have weighed before and after." It's true Charlie ate probably 20 strawberries. Then we headed to the grass area and stripped him and scrubbed him down and put on his extra outfit.


On the way home he was exhausted and just sat in his carseat and sang along with the music. Now we've got lots of beautiful delicious strawberries to eat! Yummy yummy!

  1. Was it a long drive out there? We haven't been to that one so maybe this is the year! How fun!

    1. The drive was about 50 minutes. Totally worth it. Your boys would live it. They also have a huge grass area, picnic tables and a letting zoo. We were there for two hours and coul have easily stayed longer. I'd go soon because the strawberries are already pretty picked over. And they do pumpkins in the fall!

    1. Thank you! I would definitely recommend it. We had a lovely time. The drive out there is beautiful and the whole thing was just really enjoyable. They have a petting zoo, large grass areas and picnic tables. I think it would be fun to bring a picnic and eat it after berry picking. The berries were pretty picked over but there are still many good ones. They also will be doing blackberries May-June.
