Sweet May

It is that time of year again! The sun is shining, the sky is blue, white fluffy clouds race overhead and the temperature is warm. A perfect example of a beautiful Spring Day in Texas, and the right time of year to pick STRAWBERRIES! Thats right, Natalie, MomMom and I went to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls, Texas for the annual Strawberry Picking. Last year we missed the Strawberries and picked Blackberries, but this year we made it just in time. (Please note we will be returning in a couple of weeks to pick blackberries) Natalie has so much fun picking the berries, but prefers to run back and forth between the rows showing MomMom and me what she found or giving us berries to eat. She also consumed more than she picked, but she had fun. We also got to pick Onions and Potatos. Natalie can't wait to go pick Blackberries!

oLook at what I picked!

MomMom wanted a closeup of the very red berries.

The Pickings. 16 lbs of Strawberries; 16 lbs of Potatos and Onions

Hard working pulling those fruits and veggies.

Picking berries and veggies is tiring.

The First weekend in May is also MayFest in Fort Worth. On Sunday evening I took Natalie to MayFest with a friend of mine and his son. The kids really enjoyed the games, paintballs, and food! Afterall, what little kid doesn't enjoy a good corndog and funnel cake.

Reading the Map. No wonder we got lost, they gave us the wrong directions.

Such a big corn dog for such a little girl!

Paintballs! Natalie loved the gun!
