Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida

Photobucket
Theresa, Jeremy and I made a trip down to Plant City for the ever so popular Strawberry Festival!





Photobucket
We were immediately greeted by an old friendly cow who I have named Beatrice.





Photobucket
Here I am with the one and only.....Beatrice.





Photobucket
The party finally started when I met up with my favorite restaurant mascot even though I have only eaten at Pollo Tropical once.





Photobucket
Theresa was super excited to find out she could be a winner with BEEF just by standing next to this fence.





Photobucket
I think it's pretty clear you don't want to mess with us and when we want your greasy festival food you best just hand it over!





Photobucket
The only purpose of this picture is to purely tease my friend Holly De Ruyter.





Photobucket
Me, Theresa and Jeremy enjoy the day thus far.





Photobucket
I was the big winner in playing the game, Find The Lost And Found Caboose...even though I was the only one playing.





Photobucket
Theresa did a fantastic job when I told her to go stand next to that.





Photobucket
We found some kind of fake concert going on and it was pretty rad.





Photobucket
Jeremy and I are huge fans of fake concerts.





Photobucket
This was a lot more fun than getting your picture taken at the mall.





Photobucket
Theresa and Jeremy check out all the cool fair food.





Photobucket
Here is a the first picture of a two part series I like to call "Me Taking A Picture Of Theresa Taking A Picture Of Fair Food."





Photobucket
This is part two of the series, which is also regrettably the end of "Me Taking A Picture Of Theresa Taking A Picture Of Fair Food."





Photobucket
I get nervous around dino-balloons.





Photobucket
Then me and Theresa were lightly jabbed by a bunch of unsharpened dino-balloon teeth.





Photobucket
While we were both being lightly jabbed and eaten, Jeremy tried to pull us out but he was simply no match for the mighty dino-balloon and ended up being next on the menu.






Luckily I had a thumb tack on me and we were are able to escape after I popped the inside of the dino-balloon. Then to celebrate I rode a mechanical bull for the first time in my life.





Photobucket
i find that stealing any kind of treat and/or candy from a child is pure joy...even if the child happens to be fake.





Photobucket
After stealing a huge fake ice cream cone from a fake kid, Jeremy and I decided to steal a real John Deere utility vehicle.





Photobucket
Even though Jeremy was a mad man driving that utility vehicle I still felt like I needed to live on the wild side a bit more. So I did the unthinkable and purchased a huge Italian Sausage that was sure to destroy my insides.





Photobucket
It looks horrendous but the smell was just too enticing to resist.





Photobucket
We always look like this when we sit on barrels.





Photobucket
The amount of crap at the Strawberry Festival was overwhelming at times.





Photobucket
To end the night we headed over to the booth where you can make your very own strawberry shortcake.





Photobucket
Jeremy and Theresa pile up on the strawberries.





Photobucket
And I did exactly the same!





Photobucket
I call this piece "Me Taking A Picture Of Theresa Taking A Picture Of Her 'Make Your Own' Strawberry Shortcake."





Photobucket
Theresa is very excited about her treat.....





Photobucket
.....as am I.





Photobucket
It's time to chow down!





Photobucket
We walked by the strawberry chair that belongs in a mall once again and I pretended that I was the emperor of all strawberries throughout the world.





Photobucket
Then I was merely exhilarated of the thought that I had so much power over fruit.





Photobucket
While Theresa was merely exhilarated with her purchase of strawberries and can't wait to eat them at home.





Photobucket
And now it's time to go home after a fun-filled day of cows, hot wisconsin cheese, lost and found cabooses, fake concerts, fake children with fake food, dino-balloons, mechanical bulls, John Deere utility vehicles, and of course STRAWBERRIES!!!
