Strawberry Festival

In June we went to the Cedarburg Strawberry Festival. It was a hot and humid day but we had a great time with the kids. Our favorite area of course was the kid zone. We got their faces painted and colored on the mural...
Merrick made wands for the girls...
They got to try on some beautiful dancing costumes... (believe it or not, this is the best picture we got - silly Avery).
The kids got to play on this bouncy house slide for 5 minutes... (Can you believe it cost $6 for two kids to play for 5 minutes? What a waste. Oh and the guy who was timing our turn shortchanged us and said our turn was up after 3 1/2 minutes. Oh well.)
We bought some food to feed the goats at the petting zoo. Camryn was giggling as the goats licked her fingers!
And we also built a periscope with a free Home Depot kids workshop kit. After that we were hot and tired so we took a 10 minute hay ride to rest our feet.

And that's all the pics I have but we also ate strawberry shortcake, bought fresh strawberries, kettle corn, and a lot of other junk food. Avery got to see Hello Kitty and got a balloon. It was very family friendly and we love going to this festival every year (despite the crowds and the heat).

Wow, expensive entertainment. I can't believe they charged you $6 for 5 minutes. Crazy ripoff.
