Tulip Festival!

Sophie and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point today. It was a BEAUTIFUL day (finally!!) and we loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, there weren't many tulips in bloom yet, but we enjoyed walking - or running if your name is Sophie - around. I tried and tried to get some pics of the little miss, but she just doesn't make it easy, you know? By the time my camera actually takes the picture, she's off doing something else or looking somewhere else, or not really smiling anymore... you get the idea. Here are a few that just don't quite capture the cuteness level of a little girl and flower fields, so you'll just have to use your imagination.

this "smile" kills me!

Sophie LOVED smelling all the flowers

In other news.. strawberries have been on deep super sale around here. I don't really know what I was thinking, but I bought an entire flat! Hey, it was a DEAL! But then came the dilemma of what to DO with all of them! I found a recipe online that looked promising and it turned out! Voila Mock Lemon Chiffon Cake (with strawberries). It was a good thing that we had a bunch of people of last week b/c otherwise most of this would most likely have ended up in my stomach. Of course, this only used up a very small fraction of the berries... you can believe that we've been eating strawberries on any and everything: oatmeal, toast, ice cream, cereal, etc... yum!
