| Sweet Harvest |
We got up semi-early (for a Saturday) and headed to Marble Falls and had breakfast at the legendary Blue Bonnet Cafe, then met the Daisy Scouts at Sweet Berry Farm for some Girl Scout activities. It was a wonderful day for it, the weather was beautiful, not too hot, and it wasn't too muddy out in the strawberry fields. First we got our strawberry baskets and walked up and down row after row of ripe, red strawberries. The farmers talked to the girls about picking "the redder the better" and Regan had it in her head that she only wanted pointy ones, for whatever reason, so we had to pass over a bunch of nice juicy looking ones because they weren't pointy enough for little miss perfect.
Once we filled our baskets, we went to the Giant Ladybug area, and learned about how ladybugs are good for strawberry plants. They gave each of the girls their very own ladybug to take and "re-home" on a strawberry plant.
Then we got to go on a bumpy hay ride and look at all the goats and donkeys and feed them some of the grass. And then the best part, ice cream! We all got the pumpkin flavor, it's the best ice cream I've ever had, and worth the drive out there just for that! I can't wait to go back in a couple of months for blackberry season.
