Strawberry Festival

Strawberry Festival 2012

It is sooo much fun to have two kids that are able to do things!

The last time we went to this festival was back in 2010,

when Emma was almost two months old.

We decided to get there fairly early to beat not only the crowds but the heat.

Didn't matter, most everyone had the same idea. So, we got there just as the very long, interesting, parade got started. Took us longer to make our way down the parade route than it would have been to wait a little later to go. Oh well. We decided to take a break in a shade spot enjoying a slurpee :).

Our first stop was the pony rides!

Lines were not very long at this point so we jumped in and both girls had a blast!

Lily went by herself while Emma had her Daddy take her around with Ariel the pony.

We also enjoyed the 4-H Petting Tent where they had ducklings, bunnies,

goats, chickens and sheep.

Next stop, one ride.

The girls chose the teacups mostly due to the length of lines but it was also one that they could do together and have one of us go too. And, they chose me :) Loved doing this with my girls.

Then, we ate in the shade. Yummy, yummy bbq, hot dogs, fries and ice cream. We did make another stop to have some delicious strawberry shortcake. But, it didn't last long enough for a picture!

A great day to help kick off this fun holiday weekend!
