strawberry festival 2011.

what a difference a year makes! last year at the strawberry festival, sarah kate couldn't ride any rides and she just watched trey and i pick our berries from the comfort of her stroller. not this year! she rode a couple of rides and picked her very own berries! alden (sk's school bestie) and alden's parents "mamy and cow" (aka...amy & kyle) joined us and we all had a great morning=)

sweet friends:


mr. kyle and the girls...


ha....helicopters with dad...




time to pick!




they both caught on so fast and did a really good job!









helping daddy;)




sk had to ride on "papa's tractor"








ashley's strawberry salad to go along with our yummy blackened grilled mahi


and unrelated to a strawberry......
our usual appetizer....artichoke & hollandaise


also unrelated to strawberries....i've redecorated our porch....


how cute are these watering can citronella candles! i got them dirt cheap from marshall's homegoods


trey picked up a little green adirondack chair for the porch for sk....


the swing got a little love, too....



love this time of year!
