Yesterday we spent the day in Poteet, TX. Poteet is famous for their strawberries. Well, famous around here anyway. And once a year they celebrate their strawberry-ness by having a huge festival. They call it the Poteet Strawberry Festival. Fitting, right?
It was quite the celebration full of fun, food, and no shortage of carnival...umm...carnival related things and people. We had fun. Sophie went on what she called roller coasters - mind you they were the "baby rides." Boy, she had fun. She went from one to the next, asking if she could go again, jumping up and down in lines asking if it was her turn. Completely beside herself with excitement! She didn't want to leave. Thankfully there was no tantrum upon our departure because we told her that when we got home she could see all of the pictures from the festival of her riding the "roller coasters." As soon as we got home she did just that. She looked at them over and over and over again. She giggled with excitement as she reminisced on the fun she had. And she did it again this morning. Needless to say, a great time!
Oh, and did I mention we came home with like 20 lbs of strawberries? Feel free to send me your favorite strawberry recipes :) especially for jam!

Stop teasing me! I miss TX!!! Great pics Paulina!
Just catching up on my friends' blogs. :) Your strawberry pics make my mouth water. I don't think there is anything more delicious than a strawberry straight from the field! Except maybe peaches straight from the tree.... mmmm... summer fruit!!
Looks like you guys are having fun exploring!
