Strawberry Days Festivities

Since I grew up in Pleasant Grove, and lived here practically my entire married life I LOVE Strawberry Days. They say it is the longest running city tradition in the state. I was sad this year because Spencer's family planned their reunion during Strawberry Days, so we had to jam pack as much action in at the beginning of the week as possible.
Wednesday was the children's parade, it was raining but we decided to brave it anyway. Surprisingly this was the best parade we've ever done, because it was perfect weather! Usually it is so HOT! With our umbrella in hand it was nice cool weather and the kids did great. Gavin even walked...for a minute or two.


After the parade we headed down to the carnival it was crazy, since it was 50 cent night. We didn't even use all our tickets, because the lines were way long and we didn't want to wait.


Next was the rodeo and luckily we came prepared with lots of blankets and our umbrella. It poured during a good portion of the rodeo, but it wasn't windy or anything so it wasn't even cold. It was the first time we dared bring our kids to the rodeo and they loved it. It is so nice that our kids are getting to a stage where we can do things like that and they don't have to be entertained the whole time.

Even though all our Strawberry Day's festivities were packed into one day and it felt a little crazy we still had fun. At least I got my strawberries and cream!
