The Poteet Strawberry Festival

Today I had to mow my lawn... and I mean I really had to mow my lawn.



So we went to the Strawberry Fest in Poteet instead. Hayden gets another week with the 'jungle' in the backyard.

Poteet is a little town that is literally in the middle of nowhere. We're talking redneck, banjo playing, NASCAR loving nowhere. Luckily the GPS is good at finding nowhere so we were on our way.

The Festival was great. They had some good rides that were really expensive and some great food that was pretty cheap. As soon as we walked in a carny started his schpeal about me winning something for my kids. I was going to avoid it but Joy decided to take his side.

Guy 'Step right up, you can't loose'
Me "No thanks'
Joy 'He said you can't loose... and Hayden really needs a $2 bear.'

So $15.00 later we got a bear for Hayden.


We went of a coule of rides which gave us a great view of all the things we could do.


I personally came for the food and I was not disappointed. The smokers were out in full force and I grabbed a brisket fajita and a BBQ sandwich that were both awesome!


Unfortunately I couldn't debase myself enough to buy the hot beef sundae.


What was that? San Antonio is one of the fattest cities in the US? No... I don't believe it.

Of course we had some strawberries. We had strawberry ice cream, chocolate covered strawberries, strawberry wine coolers (just me and Joy) and we ended up buying 6 pints of fresh strawberries, which we pretty much ate on the way home.


All in all it was a good time. We came home with full stomachs and sticky fingers and all took a nap... except for Hayden who still had energy somehow. That's my boy!
