We get to SBF and Barrett is ready to go. We get our container and head over to the blackberry bushes. There are so many blackberries. And they are huge and very ripe. Of course, we had to sample some along the way. I think B ate more than he put in the basket.
After we got as many blackberries as we needed, we went to look at all the animals. There were a bunch of goats. Both kids liked looking at the goats. Some of the goats even climbed a tree. We also saw the chickens, horses and donkeys. Barrett liked feeding the horses grass and even petted them. Horses have such big teeth!
After looking at the animals, it was time to go check out and get some ice cream. They have the best Berry Berry ice cream. Barrett also got a strawberry popsicle. He even shared with Brooklyn.
The kids fell asleep on the way home. It was a fun day and a great time for us together as a family. I highly recommend you checking it out if you live near Austin.

We just picked blackberries near Shane's parents- about 2 hrs from Austin. We ended up picking 7 lbs at only $1/lb! They are just so expensive in the store, so it was a real treat! Glad yall had fun!

What a fun day! You're kids are so cute! I love the picture of Barret walking with his blackberries. It's sweet.
i'm glad you had a fun day and that's a fun family tradition to have! i'm sure you'll be baking with blackberries for a while :)
Love you!
Too fun! You can just tell from the pics that Barrett has such a sweet, adventurous spirit.
We used to go do that in Louisville all the time (blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries). We would freeze them and they would last forever. I've been looking for one now that we're back here, so thanks for the tips. Happy Baking!
Okay, we just got suckered into the blackberries at the checkout when we were leaving the farmer's market. They are so yummy. Nathan was eating them out of the bag on the way home! I probably wouldn't have even considered it if it weren't for your blog!
