A pet parade with strawberries on top!

What a busy day we had. Today Dakota's class had their pet parade. Now I know you are probably wondering why Dakota brought a stuffed snake, when we actually do have a cat. Well, I was mainly afraid that Belle would be scared senseless with all the other animals like hamsters and other cats...not to mention dogs. So we opted to bring a stuffed pet. Much safer. Dakota was amazed at how many of his friends also have pets. Real pets I mean. He said everyone can have stuffed animals, but not everybody has REAL pets! He is too funny. Then once it was over Rory, Rebecca and I went to the local strawberry field and picked strawberries. Rory was SO into it! he carried the box the entire time and would set it down, pick a few strawberries, and then continue on. Good thing too,because Rebecca was not thrilled at the idea at first. But I eventually got her to settle. It was a really fun morning. But upon reflection I will definitely need some extra hands in future.
