Straw-buh-buh-buh-berry, Strawberry Shortcake

What is a STRAWBERRY Festival without it?? And chocolate covered strawberries, and strawberry wine, and funnel cake with strawberry topping, and....

Good thing we won tickets to get in because after they get you in, they suck you DRY!!! You can't go to a carnival and not ride the rides, so tickets for that were 50cents each, and rides started at 6 tickets...you do the math! It was a TX Panhandle windy type of day, but we had a BERRY good time in spite of it. Delaney rode the Gravitron for the first time and LOVED it. She's an adrenaline junkie! I am sad that we missed FRECKLES, the official mascot :(




Braxton gets the gold star for the day. He was stuck in a stroller all day, and his cheeks and legs got a little red, but he NEVER once got grumpy. What a sweetie pie!

I'm A Winner, I'm A Winner!

No, I'm not just trying to build my self esteem. I am almost embarrased to say, but I won tickets to Strawberry Festival in Poteet, and to Oyster Bake during Fiesta from Mix 96.1. I have sort of become obsessed with calling in and trying to win. I called in and before he could get a word out, I asked if I was even eligible to win since I just won tickets to Mixfest on Tuesday. He said "technically" I'm not supposed to, but he didn't like rules. I told him sometimes rules are meant to be broken. We had planned to go to Strawberry Fest. this weekend since Raylee and Peyton are staying with us. So to go for FREE is even better! Not so excited for Oyster Bake, but they say it's a lot of fun and of course there is other fare besides oysters. We'll probably check it out.
