It has taken me a while to embrace the fact that summer in Austin requires a hefty dose of heat-tolerance and equal amounts of creativity. Premeditated "heat strategies" and summer themes seem to help. One year we did colors. This summer my genius friend is doing words and cities.
Our family will have a pretty big adventure in July, but I'll get to that later. We started the summer with a little flavor journey to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls. I adore this place, truly adore it. It is a family run operation, with endearingly family-friendly amenities and is surprisingly, refreshingly peaceful. Oh, and of course TASTY!
Off to the fields!
Hannah didn't really "pick" berries; she mostly just sat among the rows and feasted!
We arrived at the end of the season, so the berries were small but still super juicy delicious!
They have lots and lots of goats to pet. Hannah was enthralled with them.
Austin too.
Elia won the award for smallest berry...
and best toe-touch.
These "jumpy bubbles" are a new addition. And this is what I love about Sweet Berry Farms: every year we go back and they have added some new feature to enhance the "farm" experience (as if that wasn't enough)! These folks care for their land and care greatly that their visitors enjoy the experience. I really, really appreciate that.
