James is at an age that makes Strawberry Days extra fun. I took him to Huck Finn Days and he enjoyed getting prizes at each station, but hated waiting in line. He also didn't really care much for the games, and would sometimes just take the treat and leave. You can tell he's my son... all about the food.
We watched the parade and James was fascinated. He seemed to especially love the motorcycles that started the parade off. He was also quite good at snatching candy by the end of the (over hour long) parade. The carnival was also a big hit. James loved the roller coasters and seemed to have no fear on them which kind of surprised me because he easily gets scared.
Jess and Chris joined us for the carnival which was a blast
The fourth of July was eventful. We went swimming, had a big bbq, and let James stay up until 10:30pm to watch the fireworks.
The temperature was only in the 70s, so it was actually a bit cold

We have been trying to pack in the fun before the baby comes. One of our favorite things to do as of late is have a picnic in the park. This past weekend, our "picnic" food happened to be pizza. You can't get better than that.
Although I sometimes complain about the heat (let me mention it's worse pregnant), this is why I love this time of year. Spending time with the people I love outside is priceless.
