Sweet Berry Farms 2009

I skipped out early from my photography course today to take some photos of something I love more than downtown Austin. ;) (We were learning about architectural photography and we were sent out on a scavenger hunt. I figured I would scavenge something I enjoy more than buildings.) It seems like forever since we've had a relaxing Saturday with nothing to do. It was so fun and last minute we decided to go pick the berries after hearing they were at their peak. Peak, indeed, it was a lot of fun and the berries were amazing. Rob's parents were even able to join us. It was a great Saturday for the Smith's!

We started the adventure with some painting. Suzy opted to paint her hands, rather than her face. She appropriately chose strawberries. It was a lot of fun.
I tried to get a fun shot of her holding her hand out towards me. No such luck. She is, after all, three years old.
Next, it was off to the berry patches.
A little advertising. ;) We love this place.

Suzy and Pawpop were excellent berry pickers.

We filled our basket with super yummy berries.

Grammy entertained Andy with some O's while the rest of us picked the berries.

After the basket was full, Suzy and Pawpop went off to feed the goats. Such a highlight for the wee ones. See you in the fall, Mr. Goat.
The highlight for Pawpop was the home made strawberry ice cream.
Yum!

Wish you could have been there!

Oh, and for my photo assignment, I was supposed to shoot something red.... This sure beats a stop sign in my book!
