It's Strawberry season here in WA state!! :) I absolutely love strawberries...& not just because I was raised in the "Strawberry Capital of the World" AKA Ponchatoula, Louisiana. Although, that is a very convincing reason...
Like Ponchatoula's annual Strawberry Fest., Marysville does something similar. With everything from Entertainment to kiddie activities! They had a pony ride, car show, strawberry shortcake eating contest, carnival, parade (Kiddies & Grand), & fireworks. A lot of small business owners set up booths & sale their merchandise. There is great food & lots of sweets! My favorite is the Funnel Cake!!
My friend Amy decided to enter the Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest...what she didn't realize is, her main competition was the winner of last years contest! She didn't win, but it was a lot of fun to watch!

Face Painting!
Ellie & Braiden both got their face painted while at the Strawberry Fest. today!

It was a great day spent with wonderful friends! The weather wasn't perfect...It hardly is here in WA, but we made the best of it & had fun! I'm looking forward to going back tomorrow.
Maybe we'll get lucky & it will be sunny!
Here are a few more pictures from today...
