The strawberry: "Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did." --Dr William Butler--

Today we went on a little adventure to the California Strawberry Festival! The area surrounding us is the strawberry capital of California so needless to say we have lots of yummy, yummy strawberries! And they're huge and delicious! Evelyn certainly likes them!!! We gave her one the other night and she was just like, whoa!


Then I did the responsible thing and put it in this nifty little thing for babies where you put the fruit or whatever in the little mesh thing and they can chew and suck on it without getting the big chunks. They have the coolest things for babies nowadays!


Anywho, Mark's parents were in the area this weekend so they came up to see us and went with us to the festival. Basically it consisted of a little carnival place for the kids, some stages for performances (we didn't see any), a lot of booths for people selling crafts, etc. (you can find such interesting things at these type of places! I can't remember anything in particular right now but I'm sure you know what I mean), and a lot of food, which of course meant lots of strawberries! They had booths selling them by the box.

(This was a cool seat/swing thing they had...it was actually really comfy to sit in!)

For lunch we had this yummy meat on a stick thing and then for dessert we had funnel cake with strawberries on it! It was SO delicious! Then of course when we were leaving we saw an even yummier looking strawberry shortcake and were slightly disappointed that we missed out on that...but oh well...you can't really go wrong with funnel cake!
