Strawberry Days

One of the best parts about living in Pleasant Grove is Strawberry Days. For a week each summer, PG has a big celebration for the city. This celebration started in the early 1900's when PG was mostly farmland. Most of that farmland was strawberry fields. Now the strawberry fields are filled with houses, but we still celebrate Strawberry Days! As a note we do have a nice patch of strawberries out back and the kids picked the first ones this week.

This year we are only attending a few of the Strawberry Days events. We are missing the rodeo, the fair downtown, and many other events. We did make it to the children's parade and the Grand Parade this morning. A huge difference this summer is that it has been raining everyday. So the kids marched in the rain on Wednesday and we watched the parade in the rain today. They were still both really fun. The kids especially enjoyed the parade this morning- they got lots and lots of candy.
Waiting for candy.

Skye really raked in the free handouts. Maybe it was her cute smile!

    What fun times--love the cute photos of the kids. I am always amazed with how much they are growing up.

    I can't believe you braved the children's parade with all 6 kids! I opted out this year.
