Sweetberry Farms

I was lucky enough to take off work for Finn's final first grade field trip.  I was sad to miss the first one, but it's hard to take off work in the beginning of the year.  The field trip was at Sweetberry Farms, a cute little farm in Marble Falls where you can pick your own fruit.  Our field trip guide was Farmer Fran, who started off a sweet little lady, but increasingly lost her patience with the first graders as the field trip went on.  there were a ton of activities for the kids to do, plant a seedling, feed the goats, pick strawberries, and shoot splatberry.  Splatberry is a gun-like contraption that lets the kids shoot strawberries at a flag that they get to keep afterwards.  Finn had a blast and I'm so glad I got to spend the day with him as one of his last activities as a first grader.
