Lowcountry Strawberry Festival

We started the day with ballet. The story was A Midsummer's Night Dream. I am not sure how they made it into a children's story, but the girls were sure cute.

Next, we all headed over to the Strawberry Festival at one of the local plantations. They had lots of games, rides and bounce houses.

Celia was too busy taking in all the sights to actually face the camera.After the rides, we headed to the strawberry fields and picked our own strawberries. Celia did a great job of finding ripe and healthy strawberries.
After we filled the bucket, we went and had them weighed-we picked 6 lbs of strawberries. We ate some with our lunch and they were delicious. I might have to find a strawberry pie recipe or something to make sure we use them all before any go bad.

It was a beautiful day and a wonderful family outing.
