Strawberry Festival

Last Saturday, Anna, Yumi, Mama and I went to the 25th Annual Strawberry Festival in Oxnard. It was a hot day but Anna and I had our hats to shade our faces.


The festival was like a fair, complete with kiddie rides, vendor booths, and food... The highlight for me was sampling whole strawberries from different growers, and comparing texture and taste. My mom eventually bought a flat of berries here, these were dense and sweet.


Here was a unique booth of butterflies Anna and Yumi admired.


We couldn't pass up the chocolate-covered strawberries!


Yumi volunteered to carry strawberries back to a bus which took us to our car. Anna told Grandma she had to share the strawberries (kids can get away with saying things like that), and she gave us half to bring home. We've enjoyed them so much!
