So close - yet so far away

We love going to Sweet Berry Farms to pick strawberries and although it's a little over an hour outside of Austin, we decided to go with Gaby, Emmylou and Miller on an afternoon adventure. We loaded up the cars after swimming lessons complete with picnics and off we went. Too excited to sleep, we finally made it to Sweet Berry Farms only to learn they are closed on Wednesdays. Really? Who closes on a Wednesday - especially when 3 cars filled with cute little children are sitting out at the gate anxiously waiting to get in? Can you say melt down? I had a complete melt down in the car and told mommy to just 'drive over the the gate and go in'. After much conversation, we decided that not all was lost because we would go have lunch and award winning pie at Bluebonnet Cafe. Yum! Who needs strawberries anyway?
Friends who eat pie together stay together

When life hands you lemons, make lemon meringue pie!
