Simon's Second Soiree - strawberry style.

Kid's first birthdays are generally the big one, but I'm not really sure why.  Most of them still aren't aware enough to get what's going on.  This time last year Simon still wasn't walking and was only saying a few words.  This year though, he's running and shouting in full sentences.  So we all had a fun excursion to pick strawberries at Sweet Berry Farms outside of Marble Falls last Saturday.  A couple of Simon's friends joined him in the picking.

It took him a while to figure out we weren't collecting rocks and dirt.

Simon and Henry got right to work.



As you can see in this video, Simon realized that the basket was just a waste of time and decided to cut out the middle man.

 More grazing.

Simon tells the goats Good Morning in this video and gets a little jittery when they jump up on the fence.

And since we were in the area, might as well stop at Opie's in Spicewood for BBQ.  It was good, but not out of this world.
