This past Saturday we had a booth set up at the Bellevue Strawberry Festival and we had over 150 families pop in our canopy for fruit and veggie stamp painting and to find out a little more about Macaroni Kid.

Though many kiddos came back to pick up their artwork, I was lucky enough to keep 79 gorgeous, colorful pieces of fruit and veggie art!  Thank you for sharing your creativity with me and getting messy with my awesome, helpful supermom, who manned the art table!

The Strawberry Festival is a mark of summer here in the Eastside, so it's safe to say it's officially the season of family fun, even though the weather isn't quite cooperating today!  There are movies in the park, as well as the library, festivals, art walks, story times, nature walks and all sorts of awesome activities both indoors and outdoors.  Be sure to check out the Event Calendar for a complete list of events and even daily for some last minute adds, which is exactly why you should download the Macaroni Kid app!
