It was another great year at the good old annual block party! It seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves! At first Mitch wasn't sure what to think of everyone at HIS grandma and grandpa's house, but he eventually got used to it and was having a FUN time with all the kids!! It is always so much fun to see people I haven't seen in awhile, its kind of like a fun reunion!!! Thanks to my mom, dad and of course the committee for always doing such a great job at putting this all together....we all appreciate it!!
Huck Finn Day....
This is one of the events that Mandy is in charge of for Strawberry Days. It is so much fun for all the kids. They have so much to do. Lets see, they have the donut walk, REAL fishing, face painting, games, pony rides, a pet show and so on! Each year it seems like there are more and more people...SO FUN!

Okay, so here is another event Mandy is in charge of. Crazy, I don't know how she does it!! I asked Mitch if he wanted to eat a piece of pie...well of course, HELLO!! He didn't win, well he actually cheated because he used his hands but what did he care, he got to eat some pie!! Ashlynn and Brooke didn't want to be in the contest...too MESSY, I totally understand!!! Bridger and Sami went for it in each of their age groups, they didn't win but it was REALLY close for both of them!!!
The Carnival....
After the pie eating contest we went to ride some rides at the Carney!!! That's all the kids had been wanting to do from the minute we drove by as they were setting it up! The Parker's met us there and the kids had a BLAST!
Last but not least, the PARADE! It rained on our parade this year, hahaha! Luckily we had our umbrella's and blankets. Usually it is so HOT at the parade, not this year. It's kind of weird to see the kids in jackets. We still had a fun time, and luckily it didn't rain too hard, just a couple of rain bursts!

Oh my goodness it looks like a lot of work, but the kids definitely seem to have had a blast, so it must be worth it. Aren’t traditions great!
Okay...I love how all the kids are decked out in strawberry days attire! It looks like it was a blast! We had to miss because of the Ragnar, but my mom did take the kids to the carnival and fair so they didn't completely miss out.
