Strawberry Days!

It was a CRAZY week last week, but oh so much fun. It was our town's 90th celebration of Strawberry Days!

We began the festivities on Tuesday night with a concert in the park! (BEAUTIFUL Mountains as the backdrop)

At the concert they hand out strawberry's and cream for FREE!

The even handed out fun Frisbee's to the kids!


The kids mostly just enjoyed dancing the whole time! They loved it!

On Wednesday...

We met my Mom and my nephews downtown for a fun day at Discovery Gateway. They have a new exhibit called PLAY that was super fun for the kids.



Mason is the hardest worker, whether at DG or at home. He loves to work

Hadley LOVES the water table and would stay there all day if we would let her. She also loved the new PLAY dance section!

Boston loves anything Logan and Mason are doing. He especially enjoyed the giant domino's!

Logan would stay in the construction zone the whole time... but enjoys everything else too! What a super fun time we had, then it was off to our Strawberry Days Children's Parade!


The kids LOVED the parade. They were waving at anyone who was watching and especially loved the Popsicle at the end!

On Thursday...


We had our annual block party! It is always so much fun for EVERYONE! Hadley of course loved the candy walk, and the dancing. Boston on the other hand was to busy being social. It was hard for me to just let him run around and play with his friends. Past years he wanted to dance with us.... not this year. He was to busy playing tag and other games with his buddies. Luckily Hadley still wanted to dance with us!



Look at her moves!!

On Friday...


We enjoyed Huck Finn Day! Such a fun day that the city gives the kids all for free.

The kids LOVED the pony rides

and all the many many many games!

They especially loved the donut walk! YUM! We were there for 3 hours! Went home and took a nap...

Then went over to a friends for some slip and slide fun!!

Boston and Hadley are so lucky to have so many cute and fun friends!

That night we went to the Rodeo!! It was SO MUCH FUN! We had a blast.

I loved when they stuck money on a couple of cows and then let all the kids chase the cows, I loved the barrel racing, the horse bucking, and of course the bull riding. It brought back lots of memories of watching my cousin's Rodeo in Idaho!



Saturday we finished off Strawberry Days Festivities with the parade! It was so crazy packed so the kids watched most the parade like this. Boston was happy, don't let his face fool you...
What a fun Strawberry Days Week!

Cute pictures! I enlarged Hadley's dancing video to "full screen", so when she looked up she was looking right at me. That was so fun to watch! She's quite the dancer. Thanks for sharing.

Camille, I wish I had half your energy. I could accomplish so much!

You're family is so cute, and always looks like you're having fun! I want to be just like you when I grow up, Camille!

Hey Camille. Who does the DJing for the dance party? Is it Exceptional Sound? If it is that's my dad. I know he does a Strawberry Days neighborhood party every year, and it looks like his trailer in your pic. My nephew was there too selling the little light up stuff.
