Strawberry Festival

(June 25th)
Every year, they have a Strawberry Festival here in Bellevue. It’s on old tradition dating back to when strawberry farming was the region’s most famous activity. Since it was at the park near our house, we walked down there in order to avoid parking fees. Our first stop was the big slide. The first time down, Jameson was not quite sure about it at the top, but loved it by the bottom.
(Kevin + Jameson, Jesse + Abby, Justin + Maddi)
I’m pretty sure Jesse and Abby won even though she was not thrilled.
Then Jameson picked up Ella for being a public disturbance. 🙂
Jameson feet were a little too short to reach the peddles, so I had to help push.
So I know there’s stereotypes about some other nationalities not knowing how to drive. It’s totally true, and it starts in childhood. Some kids ran straight into another little car, and then could not figure out how to back up so that everyone could keep going. It took a good few minutes to de-tangle the mess. We were not in the accident, but they did a good job at blocking the way so no one could get around it.
Ella took a turn in the driver’s seat, but she’s not that good at it yet.
After a few of the rides, we headed over to check out the food. We got some delicious Philly cheese steak sandwiches, lemonade, and then waited in line for some chocolate dipped fruit. We had a few tickets left to use, so I took a trip down the slide with Jameson before heading home.
We had a good time with friends, and it was actually not too bad of a day weather wise.
